Hi Guys,
I'm very interested by old Ottoman daggers. In particular this kind of dagger. http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=133 Oriental arms said 18th or earlier and the one in the Hermitage collection is from the 16th c. Any ideas, other examples or comments? More than the grip, I'm interested by the blade... Thanks Kubur |

I might be wrong but I have the feeling that I have a 16th century blade or at least a pre 19th c. blade... Kubur |

Is the tang supposed to look like that or was it broken off? Would be interesting to know if Ottoman daggers were constructed without proper tangs. |

For me it's a proof of the stabbing function. You can ask to Kurt if he wants to remove his blade just to check but I doubt that he will agree... ![]() |

Yes, it appears to be Turkish Ottoman blade, but I would be more cautious about its age. Is it wootz? Regards, Marius |
