A ring pommel with farming roots
The ring pommel and spear point of this knife recall the Japanese kunai. Historians generally describe the original kunai as a humble tool for digging, prying and masonry work, and its fame as a thrown blade owes far more to films and comics than to history. Most throwing knives from Pakistan, this one included, are sport pieces: a single plate of 2.5 mm stainless steel with nothing to work loose on impact.
