Dagger, Silver work, Pesh-KabzDescription
This is a contemporary, custom-forged Pesh Kabz, a high-performance reconstruction of the legendary Indo-Persian dagger. While it follows the classic recurved silhouette of the 18th-century originals, it is engineered specifically to showcase the peak of armor-piercing geometry, featuring a massive, reinforced tip designed for maximum structural certainty.
Core Design & Engineering
The Tip (Reinforced Diamond Section): The standout feature of this specimen is the heavy diamond cross-section tip. This design significantly increases the mass at the point of impact. In a "Process reliant" martial context, this geometry ensures the point will not buckle or deflect when hitting hard targets like heavy leather, brigandine, or chainmail.
The Blade: The blade is forged from high-carbon steel with a straight spine and a deep, aggressive recurve on the cutting edge. It features a T-section spine—a structural "I-beam" that provides immense longitudinal rigidity, preventing the long blade from flexing during a powerful thrust.
The Hilt: Features a full-tang construction with dark hardwood grip scales (likely Indian Rosewood). The scales are contoured with ergonomic finger grooves to ensure a locked-in, non-slip grip. The steel bolster transitions seamlessly from the hilt to the blade, reinforcing the junction point.
Scabbard: Paired with a custom wooden scabbard wrapped in black leather, accented with a steel locket and chape that mirror the clean, modern aesthetic of the dagger.Made/Created
