Koftgari is Indian damascene work in which steel is inlaid with gold or silver. The inlay process begins after the piece is molded and fully formed. The intended design is engraved into the base metal and fine gold or silver wire is then hammered into the grooves. The base metal is always a hard metal, steel, iron or bronze, and the inlay a soft metal, either gold or silver. This combination prevents the base from deforming when the wire inlay is hammered into the surface and results in the inlayed areas being well defined and of sharp appearance. The Koftgari artisan took great care in creating such a beautiful treasure. This dagger has been decorated fully from tip to end. All the silver displayed on this piece is actual silver work. The blade is made from Damascus steel with a rain drop pattern. The scabbard has a faux velvet lining to add extra protection for the blade. This dagger is absolutely stunning and would make an excellent addition to any collection.
