From whence this Bichaq?
Any help in placing this knife in time or place of origin would be appreciated

The scabbard is decorated in a characteristic Balkan style. The hilt and blade look Greek to me.

Hello Markus,
Your Bicak looks rather typically Bosnian to me. It is a nice piece and It carries the date AH 1250 (I believe) which corresponds to 1834-1835. Marius |
