Good afternoon, I was hoping someone here might have some information on examples of daggers with handles wrought in the shape of Arabic calligraphy. I have so far been unable to find any other examples of knives of this type. The example below from Sofe Design Auctions is described as being from the late 18th century but I can't find any information to corroborate the age or origin. The auction house states that the blade reads "Nasir". I would love to hear any thoughts you may have.

The koftgari appears to be in excellent condition on both examples shown in this thread considering the stated age.

Do I understand correctly that no one considers this item as an expensive souvenir for tourists?
![]() Nobody was embarrassed that the metal parts of the scabbard were not decorated with gold, but at the same time some funny and non-functional part was welded to the bottom part? ![]() |
