The Khanjarli, one of the rarest and most sought after dagger in the Indian weaponry. It is characterized by its strongly re-curving blade and wide lunette shaped pommel. This one is a very fine example, with 7 inches multi-fullered blade forged from pattern welded (Damascus) steel. The lunette shaped pommel and grips are Ivory, riveted to the tang with silver rosettes. The scabbard is wood, covered with fabric and mounted with silver mounts, the top one is set with small Rubies (??) stones. Total length 12 inches. Very good condition. Very minor chips on the ivory handle. The rosettes are recent.
