Hand-Forged Zulfiqar Sword – Forked-Tip 5160 Blade, Heritage Collector's Piece

The Zulfiqar is a historic sword associated with Imam Ali, remembered across Islamic history and often depicted with a distinctive split, or forked, double point. It is one of the most recognisable swords in the world and a lasting symbol in art, calligraphy, and heritage. This piece is a respectful hand-forged interpretation of that design as a collector's and display sword.

The forked, or split, double point is the Zulfiqar's most recognisable feature, and it is how the sword has traditionally been depicted in art and heritage. On this piece the forked tip is shaped and ground by hand, and it is what gives the sword its distinctive silhouette.

The blade is hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, the same alloy used in heavy-duty truck leaf springs, and it is full tang, so the blade runs the full length of the handle beneath the leather wrap. It is finished with a polished blade and polished metal fittings.
