What a magnificent yataghan, Yannis, thanks for sharing it with us. Can you provide a close-up of the maker's mark?

I will try, but it is not something special. It has a only a symbol like half circle inside the "hole".

Rsword
Isn't strange that it is not all damascus? Why they made the spine with plain steel?
When I first saw it i thought also for rhino hilt. But I have 4 rhino hilts and this is not similar. The others are soft in the touch and the fibrous construction is obvious. Here we have something more solid, cold and polished. If it is rhino it was treated quite different from the others.
