Uyghur folding knife 2 (silver, sadaf)
Description
The pchak (from the Uzbek word Pichoq – knife) is a traditional knife of the Uzbeks and Uyghurs, widespread with minor variations throughout Central Asia. Fixed-blade pchaks are listed in a separate category in our store. This particular folding knife is a Uyghur subtype with a partially hollow ground blade made of high-hardness (50-55 HRC) ШХ15 tool steel (Polish equivalent LH15). The richly decorated handle (silver with mother-of-pearl), due to its shape, is referred to as a "slipper". The inscription on the blade is in Farsi (Persian). The first word means "city," the second is the name of a city, a toponym. The blade does not have a lock to prevent it from closing.
