BUt of course they do!
Kindjal is an inherently Caucasian weapon and was adopted by many other societies that had or hired Caucasians (with their weapons, of course) as fighters.
NE Turkey is almost "Caucasus" and we have already discussed Laz and Minghrelians.
When we say "Caucasian kindjal" we usually refer to the true Caucasus: Circassia, Ossetia, Georgia, Daghestan with a touch of Armenia and Azerbajan ( simply beacause the latter two are not as well defined or studied).
Yours is a classic Turkish one. Nothing bad about it, but it is not Caucasian proper.
