Hello everyone,
A fellow collector from Turkey, Sancar Ozer, has posted a very interesting thread on another forum and he's given me permission to copy his post here. Enjoy, there's lots of pics ![]() Quote:

Interesting, but I happen to have a different opinion on the birthplace of the knives, commonly known today as yataghans. Fortunately for me, Dr. Elgood tends to share mine based on his latest book. Nevertheless, cool pictures.
Regards, Teodor |

Emanuel,
Thank you for sharing these wonderful images. It was fantastic to see such a wonderfully popular local cutlery industry on display, not to mention the local sights and landscapes That I and others would not normally get to see. Incidentally, we have a Texas here in Australia too, is it the right one or the wrong one ![]() Gav |

Apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but does anyone have connections in Turkey and know how easy/hard it would be for an American to acquire a nice modern made yataghan there without having to travel all the way to Turkey during this festival?

Very interesting thread! I had not seen it before and as an enthusiast of modern made ethnographic pieces I also am inteested in acquiring such a piece as Kukulza.

Hi,
There is an online auction site, Turkish equivalent of ebay if you will, time to time, I have seen such yataghans put to auction on that site. I don't know if I am allowed to post its link here, so if you send me a PM, I can give the link. Personally, I am not sure if those yataghans have any value at all since those old skills had long gone and reinventing them is rather a dubious process. Recently I discovered a Turkish forum for people who are interested in producing such "cuttlery" as a hobby but all the conversation going on Turkish, but surely there should be people who know English there. |
