Khyber Wootz (Dagger)

A Khyber wootz dagger is a compact yet formidable blade from the mountainous regions of the Khyber Pass. Forged from patterned wootz steel, it features a strong, tapered, T-spined blade known for its exceptional sharpness and resilience. The dagger typically has a straight or subtly curved profile, sturdy grip slabs, and minimalist ornamentation that highlights the natural shimmering patterns of the steel. Built for both utility and defense, it reflects the craftsmanship and warrior culture of the Pashtun tribes of the region.
