Shabari Daggers: Iconic Handicrafts from Tabuk Region

Many handicrafts and traditional industries are linked to the heritage, culture, and authenticity of the Tabuk region, such as the industry of Shabari daggers (short daggers), swords, and spears that represented strength, pride, and invincibility to their owners and bearers in past times, and currently a source of pride.

 Coinciding with the designation of 2025 as the Year of Handicrafts, the Shabari industry stands out as one of the most vital industries in which several craftsmen in the region continue to manufacture and preserve this heritage. It is used as an important collectible for men to display at gatherings and social events.

 The dagger is crafted from raw iron, with the handle available in either plastic or wood upon request. The sheath is made of tin, pure copper, or leather. These rare daggers, produced with high-quality materials and adhering to standard specifications, are highly sought after and embody the identity of Tabuk.
