A 19th century Indian silver inlaid dagger with a Damascus steel blade, C 1870
Located in Central England, GB
A fine 19th-century ornate Indian dagger superbly made from hand forged folded steel known as Damascus which shows on the blade with a pattern almost like wood grain.
The whole knife is made from solid steel and the handle is most elaborate with a curved grip which terminates in a tiger’s head all of which is profusely inlaid with finely cut silver in foliate patterns and panels with realistic markings to the tiger's head.
This fine and interesting antique knife would be a good addition to any collection or would be very useful on a desk as a paper or letter opening knife.
Some history on the Damascus steel:
The history of Damascus steel can be traced all the way back to 500 A.D. when in India it was called Telangana, Wootz or Ukku steel. It then found its way to Damascus, Syria, which was the centre of trade in that region for war equipment such as knives, swords and armour. The name “Damascus” wasn’t adopted until the time of the Crusaders. The Crusaders witnessed Damascus swords...
