Bichaq from where?
Bought during lockdown from an online vendor, the first pics are from the seller.

Once it arrived, I dropped the whole thing into Evaporust for 24 hours, rinsed it thoroughly, gave it a good go with WD40 and cleaned the blade with fine wet and dry paper, and then gave it a go over with a good quality oil,....Kurobara brand.
It looks very much in the Bichaq style, but with a very plain horn hilt and a multi fullered blade that reminds me of some of the Central Asian stuff. |

By the style of the scabbard hanging, the characteristic crescent-shaped markings at the ends of the fullers and the shape of the blade, I would assume the northeastern region of Turkey. I would name this knife Surmene
