content: Knife and leather sheath. Knife has double-edged steel blade, slightly curved at the end, and wider in the middle. Wooden handle with brass knob at the end. Sheath is made of dark leather in the same shape as the blade, with a lighter colored piece of leather stitched to the back. A wide (2.5 cm) leather strap with a brass buckle to adjust the length is attached to the front of the sheath with three narrow strips of leather. The ends of the narrower strips hang freely from the top like a tassel.
