Any larger yataghan?
7 Attachment(s)
I acquired this big guy after trying for months with patience to convince its former owner,a friend of me. I pictured it together with a yataghan of the most classical size with 66 cm blade for comparison. Big one has 71 cm blade, thats very good though I have seen a few longer. But what makes it special is that it has a T bone of 1 cm and , it is a full 5 cm at the widest point! I dont have the appropriate counter, but it is around 2-3 times the weight of the one with classical size. Does anybody own or has seen a wider yataghan blade? And, about the silver koftgari ,translation help requested please.

THIS YATAGHAN LENGHT 73 CM OF BLADE, SIMILAR LIKE THE OTHER POST.
THANKS CARLOS |
Zifir thank you very much.
92 cm overall is the max. length i have met too. I am familiar with that model (length between 85 to 92 cm),structure,scabbard and decoration) as they were the latest yataghan model produced in Turkey (late 19th c. to very early 20th). But about width, I have never met anything like this. In yataghan class, a 5 cms wide chopping machine with a 1 cm back bone is something really unusual. I will wait for any challenger for some time before I apply to Guiness :D |
Hi everyone,
Erlikhan, Zifir, do you have any more information on these very long yataghan with very thick spine and T-hilts? I have one very similar to the one posted by Husar and am curious about it. The spine on my example is 15mm thick at the base, the blade is 4cm at its widest, and the integral bolster is 3cm thick. The whole thing is 93cm long. The section of the blade starts triangular at the bolster, transitioning to a T until the tip. Thanks, Emanuel |
I'll add a comment Sancar made a while ago on another forum, concerning similar large yataghan:
