Balkan or Greek knife ?
This is what I believe to be a Greek or Balkan Knife : I also found a similar knife ascribed to being from Crete. It is well made and the 7" blade is hollow ground, almost giving the spine a "T," back .The end of the blade has a clip point.
The handle appears to be made of horn.The scabbard is leather, sewn up the side with metal thread and it appears to have a dragon or fish motif on the end. Any comments towards the origin and age would be appreciated. Thanks |
