Can we see the knife please? First of all it is made from/for a sailor. There are two little poems. Hand written from someone who was not educated enough to know grammar. It uses older types of expresions of the language. I will do the best with translation but as you know the translation is like women: The more pretty is the less faithfull
Side one:
Even if the waves of the sea don’t want to, I will not be afraid to love you, my little bird
Side two:
You were born in this world to wound hearts, you know the cure but you keep it secret
The man was in desperate love and he was seaman, away from homeland. He wrote poems on his weapon for his love. It could be a fine soap opera don’t you think?
I suppose it is a sort yataghan with small ears. Please show it to us.
