A jewel of craftsmanship and courtly refinement, this exquisite knife fuses elegance with assertion in its every detail. The blade, shaped with sleek precision, is forged from wootz steel, its surface alive with the undulating patterns for which the metal is famed. Bridging the blade and hilt is a finely gilded ferrule, delicately fluted and ornamented with architectural grace. The hilt, however, steals the gaze: crafted from mother-of-pearl, it gleams with a gentle iridescence. The underside reveals a central gilded spine, bordered by two scalloped, flaring shell panels that curl outward like stylized petals. This unexpected flourish lends the knife a sculptural delicacy rarely seen in such arms.
