Yannis example shows a slight similarity to a navaja .

There are some special features in this Greek and Bulgarian knife that make the difference. (a) The hilt is very thin and like half circle. (b) The blade is very wide, often with flowers etching and the back side has a angle and sometimes a very obvious cusp (I found the last word in a dictionary ). I hope you can see what I mean. Unfortunately I have no picture of a fine silver example this time.
