Hello dear members,
I got this nice knife with silver handle, sadly without scabbard. ( scabbard must me marvelous if all silver worked) It seems old, must be end of 19th century. I think it come from India but I'm not 100% sure, Could you hello me to fix it . Last: I wonder if an etching could reveal a pattern?... |

This Yemenite Shafra Knife. The Shafra is a utility knife common to many areas of Arabia. It is found as a stand alone knife with or without a scabbard, or (mainly in Oman) in a compartment on the back of the Khanjar. It is characterized by the down curving blade with a thickened spine and usually a silver handle. I think you can't find Damascus or Wootz on the blade |
