There are sabers with "eared" yataghan handles just as there are yataghan blades with "karabela" handles.
I once saw a kilij ( real Yelman-ed one!) with a tremendously long, two-handed Yataghan handle.
The combination does not surprise me; but the freshness and the crudity of the handle do. And, BTW, I rather liked the blade: I generally like locally-produced fakes of the European blades
Strange taste, I guess..
