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.
