About this knife

This folding knife features an 8.5 cm hand-forged Damascus steel blade and an 11.5 cm black horn handle joined by a brass bolster hand-sculpted into an eagle's head. Crafted in Pakistan, the figural bolster makes it a standout collector piece rather than a plain working folder. A wholesale draw for retailers wanting genuinely distinctive Damascus knife detailing.

Quality check

Inspecting a hand-sculpted brass eagle

Hand carving means small differences from piece to piece, which is part of the appeal; faults are another matter. When a carton arrives, open a few boxes and check:

  • The eagle's beak, eye and feather lines are crisp, with no file marks or pits in the brass.
  • Brass and black horn meet flush, with no gap at the join.
  • The 8.5 cm blade swings open smoothly, stops firmly and closes centred in the 11.5 cm handle.
  • The etched pattern is even along the blade, without patches where the layers look washed out.
  • The wooden box closes squarely and holds the knife without rattling.

Retailers who stock Pakistan Damascus knives find that this short routine catches problems before a customer does.

Questions & answers

What buyers ask about the brass eagle

How should I display a knife collection?

A shallow shadow box on the wall works well for small folders. Line it with dark felt, rest each knife on a low peg, and add a label with blade length, handle material and origin. Keep the original boxes in a drawer, since collectors value a knife that still has its box. For this model, tilt the brass eagle slightly upward so its eye catches the light.

What does this pocket knife cost in Pakistan?

Visitors in Pakistan will find it priced in rupees (PKR) at the top of this page, for one boxed knife. If you are buying for a shop, the per-piece rate drops as the order grows; tell us your quantity on WhatsApp or by email.

Will the brass bolster change colour?

Yes, slowly. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and air and handling darken it to a soft gold patina. Some owners like that aged look; others buff the eagle back to a shine with a soft cloth and a little brass polish, keeping the polish off the etched blade.

Made in Sialkot

Carving brass and fitting horn in Sialkot

Sialkot's cutlery trade grew up around small specialist workshops: some grind blades, others finish handles, and engravers and carvers add the decorative work. A figural bolster such as this eagle head is usually roughed out from solid brass, refined by hand with files and small chisels, and finally polished so the raised feathers shine against darker recesses.

Black horn is cut into scales, shaped to the 11.5 cm handle and buffed until its natural depth shows. The Damascus blade is etched in acid after grinding, which brings out the layered pattern along its 8.5 cm length. Most folding pocket knives pass through many hands before assembly, which is why the fit of bolster and horn tells you so much about the finish.

Did you know?

Horn once glazed lanterns

Before window glass was cheap, horn was soaked or boiled until soft, split and pressed into thin sheets that let light through. Lanterns fitted with these panes were so common in England that the word was often spelled 'lanthorn'. The same keratin, buffed to a gloss rather than thinned, gives this Pakistani knife its deep black handle.
