A fantastic fighting Choora knife from Rajasthan. The sharp blade is of (pattern welded?) steel with a brass hilt. A very well balanced blade with a pronounced T-section. The spine of the blade has inventory markings similar to many seen from the famed Bikaner Armoury. The very sharp (and clean) edge is beveled; the blade is designed for both stabbing and cutting. No movement in the handle and the scales are very well riveted. A very solid knife typically kept as a daily "personal" item in the waist belt.

Note to customers: We are aiming to re-educate our customers who are seeking high quality fighting weapons. High end fighting swords are rarely embellished with gold / silver; they are designed to be highly functional and practical. It takes a Sanatan Shastar Vidiya practitioner to understand what qualifies as a top class, good, average, or bad weapon.
Customers outside the UK interested in purchasing our weapons are kindly requested to contact us directly to discuss available options and requirements.
