Hey guys, this video was shot in my hometown. Most of the comments are asking about the usage of these khanjars (daggers). In the old days they were used mostly as a weapon for attack/defense and also as a knife. As the society advanced, their intended usage became obsolete. These days, the khanjar is used as an embellishment on the traditional attire of Omani men, reserved for special occasions like ceremonies, celebrations, and also for Islamic festivals of Eid. It can also be seen as a status symbol, showing how wealthy someone is by how expensive the khanjar they are adorning.
Ok, but we have learned nothing besides what they're made of. What are they used for historically and now? Why are they shaped that way? Why are they such a pride? What happens if someone can't afford one?
Hello, I am from Sur, Oman. It's my hometown in the video. Check my other comment about their usage. As to your other queries: The shape of the khanjar isn't very different from other type of daggers. The only difference is a slight curve at the end instead of it being straight. It's the scabbard used for holding it which is very unique. The reason being practicality. Men need to walk and move about while they are wearing it around their waist with the straps, with the khanjar in the center. You can imagine why movement would be difficult if the scabbard was pointed straight and hanging between the legs. They are a symbol of pride just like most traditional things are to any cultures in the world. Ancient objects with long history and traditions provide us with a sense of honour and belonging to the community. Everyone can and does afford a khanjar in Oman. The craftsman in the video is highly skilled and so his price is quite high. But there are lots of others providing cheaper options. Even tourists can get one when they visit Oman.
There is always something fun to see on this channel. A mochi maker in Japan who has the fastest mochi slapping in the world, a bread maker who has to practically jump into the oven to make the bread (forgot where it's from), and even this man who makes daggers in Oman!
Wow. Never, ever thought I'd be seeing a video on this channel from my hometown. Thanks for making this.👍I walk daily on the beach shown. ✌ Greetings from Sur, Oman. 🇴🇲🥰
Matchaiko Normal professions as all other cities and countries have. Your question is weird. Is there anything specific you wanted to know because your initial question doesn’t make sense
It’s not only Oman that does it bust mostly all of yemen who are next to them and basically every household in Yemen must have one and its used from wedding to important events or even for protection and Yemeni dagger have been there ever since the 3rd or 4rth century
pigo we use it i a dance in a circle for the men and we dance with in a beat of fast drum.Meant to celebrate the event that’s occurring and just have social time
@@noway4879 oh do you watch AvE's TH-cam channel as well? That the first guy I heard say the doll hairs thing. But he is Canadian so maybe that how Canadians talk?
Cyrex When Oman wants to copy Yemen, greater Yemen means we have to take south of Saudi Arabia and Dhofar province in Oman, so say goodbye to Salalah :)
Of all muslim countries, I like Oman the most. The Omani people are a truly spiritual and peace loving folk. You could go to any part of Oman and not feel threatened, which isn’t the case with most Muslim countries especially in the gulf. I also found Omani people to be the least racist of all gulf Arabs and are willing to accomodate people from other cultures within their society. Things are changing UAE too, but Saudi remains intolerant of anything besides its own interpreration of Islam. God bless the beautiful Omani people.
Qasim Al-Riyami no need to thank me. You guys deserve it. While in Oman, I almost felt like I was in India considering the level of acceptance and tolerance. Oman is a jewel of the gulf that needs to be preserved.
Ishaq Bhatti That’s true, we are more tolerable & open minded comparable to the other gulf countries. We truly respect everyone & would never discriminate based on your origin. I’m glad you had a splendid time over here & you’re always welcomed back with open arms, since Oman is your home as well.
Ishaq Bhatti I actually can confirm this. the UAE is moving at a slow pace, nevertheless changing. Though the people here are very, very racist. I haven’t seen or heard any forms of racism in Oman, super peaceful people. Though there are a few here and there, in every country. No doubt there’d be a few rotten eggs.
Big Hoola Man there’s always going to be a few rotten eggs here and there. Problem is when the society at large displays racist tendencies. I had taken my parents for Hajj and we initially got treated bad till they heard our American accents.
Can I just say, he never mentions that Ivory was “historically” used, he says that it is still used. Don’t change what people say just to make a story seem poetic, it is what it is. This makes me doubt all your translations from other videos.
Ivory is rare and comes from animals. Therefore, it became illegal. People still use it, only for certain reasons that won’t go against their own law, or threatens some things.
It could be unintentional. Who knows most times the translator is outssourced from them and its not the company who is actually translating the words. So the translator might have given a nicer translation because this is his livelihood.
Hi, I am from Oman , and thanks Great Big Story, I love what are you doing. It was a great to see my tradition Khanjar (dagger) shine on your channel :)
It's also in Yemen it's called jambya Everybody has one of those. I have one my dad has one. But it's not made from rich gems It made from cow horns or smth.
The Omani dagger is considered one of the most important things that the Omani man must wear when he visits someone and it is distinguished by his special and beautiful design and it is developed that it does not differ from the pure Omani template
When it comes to artistry embroiled into a steel ,this type of dagger alongside with Mughal n ottoman era daggers are some of the most beautiful work of bladesmith it’s Almost like the katana of Middle East where they put all the effort to build a beautiful dagger
We also use khanjar to refer to dagger in India. Hindi language has many accepted and commonly used words from Sanskrit, Arbi (Arabic), Farsi (Persian), Urdu, Tamil and English.
@@holeindanssock156 Bro why can't you just appreciate another persons culture without having to stereotype them based off of your experiences with middle eastern people in NYC.
It's mostly for decoration and usable against soft targets or maybe slaughter a goat if you're desperate. Not anything lightly armored or for heavy duty survival use.
@@MazdaRX7007 Actually these dagger were commonly used in combat across arabian history though it might be true that these days the sharpness of the kahnjers have lowered as compared to back then. Though many (me included) do care about what type of metal used for the blade. (Sometimes give the cleanest cuts). We also have swords which are said to clean cut a mans limb no problem.
Well, guess I’ll have to add to this. The omani Khanjer is our country’s and royal family’s Symbol. You can see it in the flag in front of two crossed swords 🇴🇲 *Oman’s flag:* upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Flag_of_Oman.svg *House of Al-Said:* upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/National_emblem_of_Oman.svg/1200px-National_emblem_of_Oman.svg.png There are four types of Omani Khanjers (khanajer, plural), them being: 1-The Sa’eedi Khanjer 2-The Shamali (Northen) 3-The Sahili (Coastal) 4-& The Suri (from the city of Sur) All these Khanajer differ in the shape and size of certain parts of the blade & sheath. For thousands of years it has been used a weapon but now is only seen in ceremonial and traditional purposes. The curvature of the Khanjer is a multipurpose feature. Like a sword, it’s easier to unsheathe when it’s curved (usually when its on their side), it also stops the end of the sheath from pressing on their legs and combat-wise does more damage, leaving a larger and/or wider stab wound depending on the design. The price of a Khanjer depends on many factors such as the quality, maker, how much material *is* used and the materials used. Materials could include but not limited to: •Silver •Ivory •wood •steel •nylon •plastic (instead of ivory) •leather •...etc It’s a proud symbol of tradition and status among the Omanis and a unique symbol of diversity to the world.
Correction about the khanjer. The khanjer that dates back to 17th century is the royal family Al Saeed khanjer which has a unique handle to it (Which is less used for combat and more for aesthetic purposes). But Khanjer as a whole is an extremely old relic of middle eastern/ arabian culture which was always used in combat and wielded with a shield. Also back in the good ol days khanger heads would be made of elephants tusk though now its illegal to hunt elephants which resulted in it being something inherited through generation and it becoming a treasure costing multiple folds that of a normal khanjer.
But then again he could be talking about how it general looks now which is way different than compared to khanjers a thousand year ago the dager would look closer to the ones being used in Yemen today (Simple without many designs on them)
So this is what khanjar looks like. I've been intrigued since I started reading the Daevabad trilogy and always forgot to look it up lol. Thanks, Great Big Story!
These things are definitely for show. The kitchen knives from that girl that grinds them from files are more useful in terms of staying sharp and having a sturdy construction, considering that Khanjars are only made of iron, and not steel.
@@d3generate804 Like I said, her file knives are more useful considering that they are made from carbon steel and not iron, like the Khanjars. That doesn't mean her prices aren't absurd.

My first time knowing Khanjar is from a manga called C.M.B, following Shinra who is a holder of CMB rings, who grants him access for off-limit archives, findings, and also unlimited research funds. Anyway it's not really important, i just want to make any of you interested in the manga. What's important is the Khanjar. The chapter featuring the Khanjar stuck with me, as one of the unforgettable chapter from the series. It is used as evidence of a case, and the preperator (criminal) gave testimony how the shape of the khanjar is like that of a hook (the same as the scabbard) which reveal they are lying because khanjar's blade is short, and if it were to be shaped like a hook, it can never be inserted to the scabbard. After knowing this, it's just mind blowing for me. How the fact that the scabbars is uniquely shaped, and how the author use the fact to create a case. Alas, i'm happy knowing more about Khanjar from this video. Thank You, gret big story! ^^ it's a beautiful and unique weapon.
one thing i like about humanity is how all of us, in different places and times have looked at knives, swords or other weapons and thought “let’s make it aesthetic”
This is pretty normal in across asia. In Japan, kimonos are heirlooms passed down for generations. In Malaysia, the Kings wears a wavy-bladed weapon called the Keris. It is a symbol of status and social strata.
Random tourist: How much is this khanjar? Looks great! Omani seller: For you, best price, 500. RT: Aaah 500 dollars. OS: 500 rials ya habibi. RT: *googles today's exchange rate of Omani rial* 😮 Also RT: I actually meant that khanjar keychain.
originally khanjars come from Yemen And the Omani one just copy it off Also they lower the size which is look more softer than how it should look like Try to search for Yemeni khanjar
@@hamad-pz3rp wtf has that got to do with anything? Search it up. The word khanjar just means dagger. Jambiya is the name for this particular dagger since its curved 🤣
It's widely spread in Yemen and Oman but fun fact about the jambya aka khanjar, a man shall never withdraw his dagger in any circumstances on anyone for small reason because if he did it is big shame to return it with no blood so you will never see it drawn on someone's face! They don't joke about it
The *Malay realm, Nusantara* also has their Traditional Dagger, called *Keris* , far more dangerous and certainly owner rarely display openly in public, as it is too provocative in which police could be called to the scene.
Indeed, sometimes people use them only when doing historical performance or during wedding Malaysian's martial arts 'silat' also use keris My uncle have one

There are four types of Omani Khanjers (khanajer, plural), them being:
1-The Sa’eedi Khanjer
2-The Shamali (Northen)
3-The Sahili (Coastal)
4-& The Suri (from the city of Sur)
All these Khanajer differ in the shape and size of certain parts of the blade & sheath.

Like a sword, it’s easier to unsheathe when it’s curved (usually when its on their side), it also stops the end of the sheath from pressing on their legs and combat-wise does more damage, leaving a larger and/or wider stab wound depending on the design.

•Silver
•Ivory
•wood
•steel
•nylon
•plastic (instead of ivory)
•leather

It’s a proud symbol of tradition and status among the Omanis and a unique symbol of diversity to the world.

arent yall in a huge war now to care about daggers?
@@hamad-pz3rp wtf has that got to do with anything? Search it up. The word khanjar just means dagger. Jambiya is the name for this particular dagger since its curved 🤣
this seems a good combo with katana
Legend has it this man is the only person in the world to craft a dagger powerful enough to kill anything with one stab
RiceNoodle Gaming let’s try it
It's widely spread in Yemen and Oman but fun fact about the jambya aka khanjar, a man shall never withdraw his dagger in any circumstances on anyone for small reason because if he did it is big shame to return it with no blood so you will never see it drawn on someone's face! They don't joke about it
Except for dancing. Yemenis dance with their jambiyas during weddings
Hey, how about documentary about Keris? Sacred weapon of Malay.

Curved. Daggers. Curved Daggers.
The *Malay realm, Nusantara* also has their Traditional Dagger, called *Keris* , far more dangerous and certainly owner rarely display openly in public, as it is too provocative in which police could be called to the scene.
Indeed, sometimes people use them only when doing historical performance or during wedding
Malaysian's martial arts 'silat' also use keris
