Product Overview
The Khyber Knife—also known as the traditional Afghan “Choora”—is an iconic blade of the mountainous Khyber region, carried for centuries by warriors, tribesmen, and caravan guards. This reproduction captures the rugged character of the original Afghan fighting knives while incorporating durable modern craftsmanship that collectors trust.
Forged from EN45 high carbon steel, the long, tapered blade measures just over 12¾ inches, giving it the stiff, thrust-ready profile the Khyber knife is known for. The full tang construction adds strength, while the grip is formed from polished buffalo horn halves fitted securely to the tang for an authentic, functional finish. A steel lanyard ring completes the hilt, offering both utility and historical accuracy.
The scabbard is built around a wood core and wrapped in expertly stitched leather to protect the blade while maintaining the traditional Afghan style. Its clean fit and sturdy construction make it suitable for reenactment, display, or field wear.
With its lightweight feel, distinctive Afghan shape, and reliable forging, this Khyber Knife appeals to collectors of Middle Eastern and Central Asian weapons, historical enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to the blades carried along the ancient Silk Road.
