Are you able to measure the length?

small addition: in the former Yu(goslavia) you had several names for cold weapons:

cakija - knife ( sometimes also called noz)
kama - dagger
handschar or like you wrote hanjar - small sword but also used for a yataghan.
to add to the confussion: a yataghan they also later called jatagan
