i feel like this should probably have a picture associated with it. -- 23:18, 10 November 2005 129.2.200.29
I have usually come across it spelt Khunjar. -- 84.69.241.1 16:16, 21 May 2006

The khanjar is not unique to Oman, and neither is the jembiya unique to Yemen. The words khanjar and jembiya are often interchangeable in Arabic so these two articles should be more inclusive. In South Asia, the word khanjar is more commonly associated with swords while a dagger is called khanjarli. Morinae ( talk) 10:16, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Traditionally, the dagger is designed by its future owner himself: couldn't find in source given
It is traditionally crafted to its owner’s specifications, including body proportions and personal preferences in terms of style.Not too sure if my own words match the essence of what is stated in the article. — Bloom6132 ( talk) 11:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Although the khanjar was originally created as a weapon to attack and defend, it is utilized solely for ceremonial and practical purposes today: simply repeating from earlier, *
however, it is now carried as a "ceremonial dagger",[11] and worn only for formal events and ceremonies – such as weddings, parades, meetings, and diplomatic functions – among many other occasions
weddings, parades, meetings, and diplomatic functionsis similar to the source, "parades, weddings, diplomatic events".
I think that's enough for now. Sorry for all the bizarre links, but I think it needs some more info to be complete. Thanks, Mat ty. 007 13:46, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
