Reminds me of the Roach belly trade knives popular in the18c N. Americas. It is naturally, not from there - i'd go along with Turkish asia minor. Nice knife. (In this context, the 'Roach' is a rounded belly fish, not the insect.)

Thank you Wayne! I think that the Trapper knife will be bigger!?
I guess that my one is from the Black Sea area but it's just my guess.  Regards, Detlef |

Like Geoff suggested, clearly a knife version of a Laz bichaq.
The overall shape of the blade, the engravings on the blade and the bifurcated horn hilt are all consistent with the attribution to the Laz people. |
