Turkish Khanjar

Aurangzeb, I am really sorry to appear in this thread only to confirm Andrew's suspicion, but I have personally seen those little khanjars sold by almost every souvenir shop in Turkey during my three visits to this country. There are some even in Bulgaria, offered to tourists in the Black Sea resorts. I do not know if it will make you feel any better, but my passion for edged weapons started with a similar tourist dagger bought in Turkey some ten years ago.
