hi. here are a pair of Turkish knives which I purchased recently. Such knives are usually called "Saldirma" which means "offense". Blades are 25 cm and total 34 cm long. Seems like work of the same master,but if they were aimed as a pair or not, can be discussed, as there are little technical and decorative differences. The blades are long but ,suitable for stabbing with their strong back structures.

regards
