An Arabian dagger (often called a jambiya or khanjar) is a special curved knife from the Middle East. It has a pretty handle—sometimes made of silver, wood, or even gemstones!

Long ago, warriors and hunters carried it, but today it’s mostly worn as part of traditional clothes, like for weddings or festivals.

It’s not a toy—it’s sharp!—but it’s also a symbol of bravery and culture.

Imagine a prince or explorer from a desert adventure wearing one on their belt! But always remember—real daggers are for adults only!
