Middle Eastern Jambiya Khanjar Curved Dagger Silver Tone Sheath Ornate Vintage

Add an exceptional piece of Middle Eastern craftsmanship to your collection with this vintage Khanjar (Jambiya) curved dagger featuring an ornately decorated silver-tone hilt and matching sheath. Rich in cultural history, the khanjar has long been a symbol of honor, heritage, and traditional artistry throughout the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding regions.

This example showcases beautifully hand-worked decorative metalwork with geometric motifs, braided accents, and colorful cabochon-style embellishments throughout both the handle and sheath. The distinctive curved steel blade retains its original form and displays significant surface rust and oxidation, giving the piece an authentic aged appearance. Due to the heavy rust, the blade is very difficult to remove from the sheath when fully seated. With significant cleaning and restoration, it may become easier to draw, but it is being offered exactly as found and has not been restored.

Whether displayed in a collection of ethnographic artifacts, antique edged weapons, or global decorative arts, this khanjar makes an impressive conversation piece. It includes its original matching sheath and is an outstanding display piece with unmistakable vintage character.

Due to the amount of corrosion, the blade is very difficult to remove from the sheathwhen fully inserted. It likely could be improved with extensive cleaning and restoration, but no attempt has been made, and it is being sold in its current condition.
