Bosnian knife
 

Hello.

I would like to show you my bosnian knife. I have noticed older threads discussing items like this one. There were beautiful examples. I hope you will enjoy these pictures, too.

Hi and welcome to the forums! Sweet knife you've got there, looks like a real fighter! Is this what is referred to as a bicaq? I really like the yataghan-style bone handle with the ears and the mosaic pins are neat too!

- Thanks for sharing and I hope you'll like it here!


Cordially, - Thor

Hello and thanks for the reply. Yes, it is a bicaq :) and really better looking in reality. I like it here, thank you a lot. Any idea, until when have these knives been made - first years of the XXth Century...or later?

Salut S.L. bine ai venit!

Late 19th-early-20th century from the looks of it. You might have already seen this thread on "Sarajevo" bicaqs with good information and examples of the type: http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4817

Salut și mulțumesc pentru răspuns.

Hello and thanks for the answer.
Yes, I think the same about the age - question is, were they still making these knives like this, in Bosnia, after the first decade of the XXth Century?

warm regards,
