The 6 1/4 inch blade has some age and light inert rust, but is still good and firm in the hilt. The silver niello hilt has some age / fading and wear (small dents) but is good, as is the sheath. The dagger draws and sheathes well. The khanjali has tested positive for high grade silver (see red acid test photo below). A lovely small dagger, well worth was £? (too late, now sold).
