TURKISH kindjal
Hi
Do you have any good examples of Turkish Ottoman kindjal? Not Greek and not Caucasian Real Turkish Ottoman kindjals with straight or curved blade... The only ones that I know are the Trabzon coral stuffed kindjals... Do you know other styles? Thanks |

Hello Kubur.
A few days ago I bought an ottoman kindjal but yet not I have in my hands. I will upload a photo that I found in the internet that is similar. My opinion is this is the Ottoman type kindjal with the designation qama. |

I have a problem if the decoration is Caucasian, and maybe the blade. What makes your kindjal Turkish? I know that you are very sharp for Caucasian affairs so i'm sure that you have good reasons but for a little head like me it's not obvious... Best, Kubur |

It's exactly what i was looking for, thanks. It's really a good catch, just a gorgeous dagger. What a shame that you don't have the scabbard. Some collectors call them Court daggers... and i think that is so wrong, let's call them daggers for wealthy people or noblemen daggers. Best, Kubur |
