The 15th century Ottoman/Mameluke dagger questions is a good one, as there are not that many known and published examples, unlike swords from the same period. Top Kapi has no online catalogue, but there is a paper publication which shows some of the arms and armor, called Sultanlarin Silahlari (Turkish only). It shows a ton of swords, but only a couple of daggers, one of which belonged to Selim I dated 1514 AD. Early 16th century, but at least close to the 15th century to show what late 15th century daggers may have looked like.
