  Thanks Kathleen! He is holding a Khunjar...A curved dagger that is very popular with the Gulf Arabs in the old days. The men wore them around their waist on a belt and the handles were made of silver, gold, bone, stones etc...depending upon the financial status!

  Excellent shot, Dana!!! I like the fact that the gent is in full colour, and the background is desaturated.

  Thanks all... I thought since he looked like he stepped out of history that the background should look a little older than he does...
Thanks again for all the compliments!
