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.

regards
