Description
Knife with a recurve-type blade made of Pakistani pattern-welded Damascus steel. Blades of this type stand out due to their wave-shaped cutting edge, but the spine very often remains straight with the tip situated below, as in a drop point, or above, as in a trailing point. On this knife, the entire blade, including the spine, has a "serpentine" shape. Partial hollow grind. Composite handle made of two pieces of exotic wood: red-and-black snakewood and ebony. Finished with a brass guard and pommel, it is hefty enough to disrupt the knife's balance – the handle outweighs the blade. Plain leather sheath with a snap fastener closure located above the guard.
