Afghan Khyber Knife

Afghan Khyber Knife –

The Afghan Khyber Knife (Choora) is a timeless dagger that reflects the warrior traditions and cultural pride of Afghanistan. Revered for centuries as both a reliable weapon and a symbol of heritage, this knife combines striking design with uncompromising craftsmanship.

At the heart of this piece is a 20-inch high carbon steel blade, forged for exceptional strength and durability. Its distinctive thick T-shaped spine and razor-sharp single edge make it instantly recognizable, delivering remarkable cutting power and precision. With a total length of 29 inches and a blade breadth of 1.85 inches, the Afghan Khyber Knife balances formidable presence with practical usability.

The blade is fixed securely into the hilt using epoxy/ sealing wax known as “laakh” in native language, ensuring lasting stability and resilience. The hilt itself is crafted from brass, blending raw power with refined artistry. This thoughtful design creates a comfortable yet commanding grip, paying homage to traditional craftsmanship while offering enduring functionality.

To complete its regal character, the knife comes with a wooden scabbard wrapped in a genuine black leather. Adorned with delicate lattice work on the brass chape and pendant, the scabbard not only protects the blade but also elevates its aesthetic value, making it as much a display piece as a functional tool.

Whether admired as a collector’s item, showcased as a cultural artifact, or carried as a symbol of strength, the Afghan Khyber Knife embodies history, resilience, and artistry. Each detail—from its high carbon steel construction to the carefully secured hilt—ensures it stands as a true masterpiece of traditional weaponry.
