Hello Ahmed,

You put in a lot of work for this appendix to your thesis.

I found your review of the old Arab sources very interesting. To me it sets out the typology of the original sword very...

Thank you for staying on this Timo :)

I disagree with you on the typology of these weapons, but that's irrelevant so I won't get into that.

On the subject of weight, I've been thinking about...

And I have some sikin from Aceh with wonderful crown integral bolsters. Fine in the south-east Asian context, but not from the Mediterranean or Ottoman sphere.

Thank you Timo!


I had a quick chat with Paul Binns. It seems that in the Late-Medieval and Tudor periods knives were often made by welding a shear steel blade to a wrought iron handle. The...

I find the differences in decoration and construction method very interesting.

Note the differences at the base of the blade and the bolster.

Hi folks,

Here are some more shots of yataghan made by Ahmed Tekelu, slightly different from the one posted by Ariel, dated ca.1525.

I'm struck by the Chinese-looking gold decoration.

Hi Jim and Teodor,

I did consider that the blade might have been curved later in its life. It would originally have looked more like the attached pic from Oriental-Arms.

Question about integral bolsters

Hello,

A question has been bugging me for a long time now.

Flyssa with yataghan-like blade

Hi everyone,

Hahah!!!! Wow! time for me to brush up on my modern repros :)
