I am not aware of any blatantly fake yataghans, with the exception of chinese monstrosities not even resembling the original blade contour and with fantasy handles.
Jose, if you have any examples, could you post them? I would be very interested to look at them ( BTW, sorry for having missed you in Louisville, but you were doing a good deed, so all is forgiven).
And, as for the ivory/ gold/ koftgari.... I am with Jose 100%.
