Merhaba Zifir,
One answer to two questions: the Karakulak knife is a smaller yatagan which was popular among stock breeders all over the Ottoman Empire, I have seen examples from 6" - 12" long inscribed with an early 20th century date in E. Greece and in Anatolia they remain in use in some areas today. It is more of a utility knife, not usually with a sheath and if it does have one, it will be roughly carved from pine or other soft wood. The grips, as the name indicates, are black horn, and earred.
