A little help, please

I bought this knife just yesterday. Don't know much about it and haven't received it yet.

Only know that it's about 22 cm.

Here are the pics from the seller. I will be making some new ones when the piece arrives.

Hi Freddy,

This generally looks like a variant of Surmene knives. The Turkich spelling of kilic (sword) also suggests Turkey. I can't fully make out the name on the other side of the forte.

Thanks, guys. I knew you would find it. Now I can look on the internet for more info.

As soon as the knife arrives, I will take some new pics of the 'forte'

On the forte is written 'H. RAHMI'. Perhaps the name of the maker or owner ? :shrug:
