The Khyber Knife is a 28-inch Damascus steel short sword based on the long fighting knives and short swords associated with Afghanistan and the Khyber Pass region. Known historically for its powerful blade profile, the Khyber knife was carried across parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the broader Indo-Persian world.
This piece features a bold Damascus steel blade with visible layered patterning across the full profile. The blade has a strong forward presence, a sharp sweeping point, and a deep patterned finish that gives each sword a distinct look. The 28-inch size places it between a large fighting knife and a compact short sword, making it a strong display piece for collectors of Afghan, Persian, and Indo-Persian arms.
The black handle and hooked hilt give the sword a rugged, aggressive profile while keeping the overall design tied to regional short sword traditions. The extended blade shape provides the visual weight and authority associated with historical Khyber-style weapons.
The Khyber knife, also known as a Khyber sword, is one of the most recognizable blade forms associated with Afghanistan and the mountainous region around the Khyber Pass. These blades were traditionally long, heavy, and built with a reinforced spine that gave them strength and authority in close combat.
Because the Khyber Pass connected Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, weapons from this region often reflected a blend of Afghan, Persian, Indian, and tribal influences. The result was a family of blades that were practical, durable, and visually distinct from European swords.
This Damascus steel Khyber Knife carries that regional character in a compact 28-inch form. Its layered blade pattern, dark hilt, and powerful profile make it an excellent choice for collectors looking for something more specific than a generic short sword or dagger.
Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.
In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.
Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
Once an item ships, delivery time depends on the shipping method, carrier, and destination. If you need an item by a specific date, contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the timeline is realistic.
