A multi-use knife designed for versatility and efficiency. The Blade profile is close to normal* (straightback) but a subtle drop toward tip of blade gives it a more narrow point for piercing or picking.
A couple of similar versions of this knife with different blade profile and colors in handle material. See item # 225844446381 for black & grey Bowie version.
Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these knives is very good. Solid construction for hard use. I expect you’ll be pleased, especially at this price. I take my own photos and measurements, add my own description. Some minor flaws consistent with being handmade in Pakistan are possible. I only tell you this in case you're expecting to get a mass produced factory manufactured knife from China. These are rugged. These are real. And sharp! I’m a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local shows and Renaissance Fair so I get lots of feedback. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

* A normal profile has a curved cutting edge and dull straight back that lets the wielder use fingers to concentrate force as well as making the knife heavy and strong for it's size. The curve concentrates force on a smaller area, making cutting easier. The knife can chop as well as carve, pick and slice. It's also the best single-edged blade shape for thrusting, as the edge cuts a swath that the entire width of the knife can then pass through without the spine having to push aside any material as other knife profiles like the drop point and sheepsfoot would. Effective for tasks from food preparation including cleaning, skinning, scaling fish and game. Also an effective weapon with penetrating power second to only a dagger.
