Khanjar

Hi there, little one! Today we are going to talk about something called a khanjar. A khanjar is a type of curved dagger that is commonly used in the Middle East, particularly in countries like Oman and Yemen.

Imagine you have a knife, but instead of it being straight, it is curved like a banana! That's what a khanjar looks like. The blade is sharp on both sides and the curve helps with cutting and thrusting movements.

The handle of the khanjar is usually made of wood or animal horn and is decorated with beautiful designs made from metal, like silver or gold. The sheath, which is used to protect the blade, is also often decorated with intricate designs.

In the past, khanjars were often worn as a symbol of status and wealth. It was common for men to wear a khanjar on their waistband, kind of like a belt, as a part of their traditional clothing.

So, there you have it, little one! A khanjar is a type of curved dagger that is often used in the Middle East and is decorated with beautiful designs.
