Khanjar
A ''khanjar'' ((アラビア語:خنجر), (ペルシア語:خنجر), (トルコ語:Hançer)) is a traditional dagger originating from Oman. Worn by men for ceremonial occasions, it is a short curved sword shaped like the letter "J" and resembles a hook. It can be made from a variety of different materials, depending on the quality of its craftsmanship. It is a popular souvenir among tourists and is sold in souqs throughout the region. A national symbol of the sultanate, the ''khanjar'' is featured on the country's national emblem and on the Omani rial. It is also utilized in logos and commercial imagery by companies based in Oman.
==History==
Although it is not known when the Omani ''khanjar'' was first created, rock carvings epitomizing the dagger were found on gravestones located in the central part of the Ru’us al Jibal region. These are believed to have predated the Wahhabi revival, which occurred in the late 1700s.〔
〕 They were also mentioned in an account by Robert Padbrugge of the Dutch Republic, who journeyed to Muscat in June 1672. Historically, only men from the royal family could wear the ''khanjar''.〔 〕 However, all civilian men were permitted to do so after 1970,〔 the year when Qaboos bin Said al Said – the current Sultan of Oman – overthrew his father Said bin Taimur and began to institute reforms to modernize the country.〔 〕
