Description
Full-tang knife with an aggressive blade made of Pakistani pattern-welded Damascus steel. By aggressive blade, I mean that it is narrow, with a straight spine, a sharp point, and a subtly defined belly curve - the cutting edge runs towards the tip in a gentle arc. This geometry is typically found in knives designed for thrusting. Partial hollow grind. The spine is decorated with filework. In addition to being full-tang, the handle is weighted with a massive bolster and pommel, both also made of pattern-welded Damascus steel. Tang scales made of brown-dyed camel bone. Plain leather sheath with a snap fastener closure.
