Kilij with square kufic inscriptions

The technique used to inlay the gold on the 16th century swords posted above are unknown to me,

The first kilij posted on this thread has a form of channel cut inlay used to make the inscriptions. The blade has the appearance of a raised section cartouche by chiseling away steel and a sharper curve to its blade when compared with Sultan Suleymans kilij.

One thing to take note of is the 16th century swords above have animal skin wrapped over the handle.
