![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. If it looks like a Yat, walks like a Yat and cuts like a Yat, it's a Yataghan. Or I'm quackers...(maybe both ![]() I have a Brass hilted infantry Yataghan with a double edged blade! Both edges sharp as heck too. cross section is a flattened rhombus. Last edited by kronckew; 11th August 2019 at 07:30 PM. |

I am a bit uneasy with that approach.
European “Yataghans” are not homogenous: one group belongs to rather faithful reproductions of the Ottoman weapon. Recall Labruna workshop in Naples, Manceaux in France, some old Zlatoust replicas. But Chassepot bayonets are a different kettle of fish. Thehuy borrowed the idea of a recurved blade and attached to them completely foreign handles. They are industrially manufactured regulation weapons devoid of any personality. Last edited by ariel; 11th August 2019 at 10:54 PM. |

I think Wayne and Kubur were both joking. Let's not get too serious with names. That tends to take us into stormy waters.
![]() P.S. I agree with Ariel. Our posts crossed. |

I now see that it came out harsh. To me Yatagan is a very special weapon that encompasses many characteristics in one place and just because one or some of these characteristics are present in a similar item we can’t sinoly call the two the same name. It’s jusst a specific name for a specific weapon. Like calling a Winchester just a rifle with a barrel or magnum revolver is the same as a berets or something like that. Again I’m sorry if my voltage went up too high ![]() |

Apology accepted...
![]() Not every bent knife is a Khukuri either, heck there are 'khukuri' that do not deserve the appellation, they are just KLO - Khukuri-Like Objects. We here have some YLO ![]() Kalasan, Flyssa, ex-Bayonets Etc. = YLO? Like most things, there are shades of grey, not black & white. Last edited by kronckew; 13th August 2019 at 08:35 AM. |
