Dimension: overall is 23"L/17"L blade. A Straight, Double-Edged Blade: Tapering sharply to a lethal, needle-like point. The Hilt features the iconic, flat, "I-shaped" or clover-style grip typical of Kindjals.The handle slabs are traditionally carved from dense natural materials like buffalo horn, wood. The grip is accented with decorative silver-toned rivets and a heart-shaped central emblem. These are hallmarks of niello (a black metallic alloy inlay) or chased silverwork, widely mastered by craftsmen in regions like Dagestan and Georgia. The wooden core is tightly wrapped in black leather, bound with a metallic suspension ring used to attach the dagger diagonally to a belt. The scabbard terminates in a distinctive ballpoint chape (tip finial) to protect the leather and balance the weapon. Three offset grooves running down the blade to reduce overall weight while maximizing structural rigidity.
