Hi
"Turkish" due to the very stylized, star and crescent
may be ... with a lot of imagination,
because this knife by it self, hasn't the characteristic of his supposed origin ... Ottoman
unless this is a Turk immigrant in Argentina in 18th, who has order it to an Argentinian blacksmith
this knife, very attractive, was longer belong to a "gaucho" than to a Turk, in my humble opinion
