Khanjar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The khanjar (Arabic خنجر) is the traditional dagger of Oman. It is similar to the Yemeni jambiya.
The khanjar is curved, and sharpened on both edges. It is carried in a sheath decorated in silver, on a belt similarly decorated in silver filigree.
A khanjar appears on the flag of Oman, as part of the National Emblem of Oman.
