Old timers here might still remember Anthony Tirri’s assertion that Laz Bichaq  was a direct descendant of Flissa. Diagonally-cut heel of the blade was one of his arguments. 
 
In retrospect, he might not have been totally wrong.  One way or another  both of them were likely descending from the classic yataghan, and the  similar heels as well as needlepoint points of their blades  only  support Tirri’s hypothesis.
