    Quick draw - or not?

    March 9, 2020 in Oman ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    A prize for the first person who can figure out how to draw the knife from the J shaped sheath. Its worn stuffed down the front of the dishdash so I can imagine why the curve leads away from the vital parts but ...

    I found this ceremonial dagger - Khanjar - in Bait Fransa; another old refurbished traditional house, this time recording the exploits of the French in Oman. Mostly manuscripts and a few items of general interest.

    The old wedding chest served as a model for many found in the souq and the costumes are remarkably varied given that nowadays only black is to be seen.

    perhaps its only just a short dagger- surely it opens just under the 3rd dotted line? van
