This fearsome fighting knife was worn on the same side as the fighting hand, (thrust through a sash), for a quick overhand grasp with the full edge side outward for a fast, deadly slashing fighting style. The handsome recurved blade is 512 layer Damascus steel with a full profile tang to which solid brass bolsters and real bone scales are pinned to take a lot of stress during use. The scabbard is a traditional type made from wood and covered in velvet with embroidered designs and has a brass tip. Overall: 10-1/2", Blade: 6-1/2" long, 1" wide, 3-16" thick Wt: 8 oz
