A personal favourite, Uzbek knife

I'm often asked what it is that I collect... I probably collect way too many things in some peoples eyes, perhaps not enough in others and am forever asked why on earth did I sell this or did I sell that...

Of all the items in all the draws and cabinets, my favourite piece is rather simple by comparison to many items here, including related knives from the region.

My favourite is this delightfully simple Uzbekistan pichoq or pchak from the Karatagh mountain provinces of Southern Bukhara.
Ergonomically perfect and razor sharp with a nasty up-swept tip.
By design it just begs to work as a daily utility knife. From cooking and eating to personal defence, it is perfectly suited.
