Oman

1994

James L. Stanfield

"Prize symbol of masculinity, the dagger called the khanjar was once as
common in Oman as the necktie is among Western men. Wrought in silver
and now used mainly in ceremonies, this artifact shows no sign of
fading in the face of Oman&#039s hunger for progress."

--From "Oman," May 1995, National Geographic magazine
