A pocket knife made of Pakistani pattern-welded Damascus steel in a leather sheath with an attached sharpening rod. It features a trailing point blade profile with a slightly concave clip along the spine towards the tip, though the tip itself is not raised above the spine line. It has a partial hollow grind. The Damascus steel has no added chromium, making it non-stainless (susceptible to corrosion). Although the knife features a stud theoretically designed for one-handed opening (a thumb stud), just like with most Pakistani folding knives, the blade cannot be flipped open with a flick of the wrist (when I tried doing this in Lahore, the locals looked at me like I was an idiot). It is better to open it using both hands. Opening it with a thumb using the stud is possible, but the action is quite stiff. The decorative handle features a massive bolster and pommel (also crafted from Damascus steel) with wooden handle scales in the center. The wood is not just any ordinary wood, but exotic zebrano sourced from African trees, known for its distinctive striped grain pattern. Liner lock preventing accidental closing. The liners (inner frame) are made of brass. The metal spine of the handle is decorated with filework. The knife is sold with a leather sheath featuring a flap closure with a snap button. Weight without the sheath is 171 g.
