Two more knives

Miguel · 17th January 2016, 03:32 PM

Hello Everyone,
I would like, if possible, to find out information on these knives. I believe that they are Bosnian but that is all I know.
The largest is 13 ins overall with a 7 ins blade x 1.375 ins wide
The smaller one is 9.875 ins overall with a 5.25 ins blade x 0.875 ins wide.
Your comments would be appreciated.
Regards, Miguel

Thanks for your comments Vandoo. You are absolutely right. Since your informative reply I have looked at one of the previous posts and also some sites on the web. It seems that they are from Jezzin in southern Lebanon. The one you recognised being the more common. The other one is older and also better made. It is very well decorated with birds and the Ottoman moon and stars, it also has a bell attached to a loop fixed to the horn at the birds throat.
Do you know what the bird symbolizes and if not can any other member inform me ?
Regards
Miguel
