Indian Koftgari Damascus Dagger

Koftgari work is an overlay art which is done by pressing gold/silver wire by special tool on crosshatching and then its heated and pressed by a polish hakik stone ( a normal stone cant be used).  No two are exactly the same.  All the silver detailing is actual silverwork not an imitation.  The Damascus blade was forged by a black smith using alternating bars of steel carbon and iron with different degrees of hardness then forge welded together. The pattern used in this blade is raindrop with a four leaf silver design in the center of the blade on one side.  The blade comes unsharpened and is housed in a velvet lined elaborately detailed scabbard with silver work just like the handle.
