Dagger Pesh Kabz

A finely executed early 19th century Peshkabz dagger featuring a single-edged wootz steel blade, with a thick and chiseled spine all the way to the tang locked into two slabs of bone forming the grip. Four rivets hold the slabs in place. It is complete with black leather scabbard with silver locket piece and a steel chape of Afghan form. A suspension swivel to the top of the hilt. The chape and leather are probably later additions. The form and shape look Afghan but the craftsmanship is Persian. The Peshkabz with a straight spine is also referred to as a ‘Karud’ dagger.
