The Omani Khanjar is not your average dagger; it’s a symbol of Oman’s history, culture, and pride. This iconic weapon, with its distinctive curved blade, has been carried by Omani men for centuries and is still an important part of the nation’s traditions.

Crafted with exquisite detail, the Khanjar features a beautifully curved blade, often made from steel, and a handle that is intricately decorated with silver or even gold. Its unique design isn’t just for show—its curve makes it both functional and easy to carry, a must-have in Oman’s traditional attire.

But the Khanjar is more than just a weapon. It represents Omani heritage and is often passed down through generations as a prized possession. You’ll see it worn by men during special occasions like weddings, festivals, and formal gatherings, as it’s a mark of pride and honor.
