Damascus Steel Karambit-style Knife with Custom Handle and Leather Sheath

This item is a fixed-blade knife displaying characteristics of a karambit-style design, though with a straighter blade profile. The knife features a Damascus steel blade, identifiable by its distinctive wavy, layered patterns in varying shades of grey and silver. The blade has a straight spine for most of its length, transitioning to a sharp, angular tip at the bottom cutting edge which appears to be a single bevel grind. The handle is highly decorative, made from a synthetic material, possibly resin or micarta, with a mesmerizing swirl pattern in shades of purple, black, and white. This marbled effect gives the handle a unique, artistic appearance. At the pommel end of the handle, there is a prominent finger ring, characteristic of many karambit knives, which is made of plain metal. The handle is secured to the full tang blade with at least two visible brass or gold-toned pins. The overall construction suggests a handmade or custom-crafted piece due to the intricate handle and Damascus blade. The knife is accompanied by a custom-fitted leather sheath in a warm brown color. The sheath is stitched along its edges with a contrasting lighter-colored thread, likely waxed linen, in a decorative double-row pattern. It features a belt loop or attachment point integral to its design, and an embossed eagle or similar avian motif is visible on the front of the belt loop section. The leather shows some signs of wear, particularly around the opening, suggesting use or age, though the stitching appears intact. The blade itself shows no obvious signs of significant corrosion or damage, but the intricate patterning makes minor imperfections hard to discern from the image. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, focusing on both aesthetic appeal and practical function.
