(( When you wear the Khanjar you're dressed ... but not to kill )) The curved dagger, the khanjar is a distinguishing feature of the Najrani personality as well as an important symbol of male elegance. It is traditionally worn at the waist. The shape of the khanjar is always the same and is characterised by the curve of the blade and by the near right-angle bend of the sheath. Sheaths may vary from simple covers to ornate silver or gold-decorated pieces of great beauty and delicacy.
