    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
