Sheathing and unsheathing a double-edged blade
Both edges of this Pakistan dagger knife face your fingers at some point, so handle it with a set routine:
- Hold the leather case near its mouth, never along the part where the 25.5 cm blade will sit.
- Grip the walnut handle firmly behind the swept brass guard and draw the blade straight out, along the line of the case.
- Lay the dagger on a flat surface with the point facing away from you before doing anything else.
- To put it back, line the point up with the case opening and slide it in slowly, without twisting.
- Wipe off fingerprints with a dry cloth before storing it.
