Black coating and a white anchor
On a knife like this, the 8.5 cm stainless tanto blade is typically ground and heat-treated first, then given its black coating, which cuts glare and adds a layer of protection to the steel. The 11.7 cm aluminium handle is finished in black, ridged at the rear and marked with the white NAVY anchor shield, before the seatbelt cutter, glass-breaker point and flipper mechanism are fitted.
Sialkot's cutlers have made folding knives for well over a century, and modern rescue models are part of that trade today. For sailors and navy veterans, a Pakistan folding knife like this one combines a familiar emblem with tools that make sense on a boat or in a car.
