Thanks to all of you.
I would be very interested by any question or remark from you, concerning the departures from characteristic aspects of the genuine models you might have known (size, weigh, design...).
Regards.

Yes and no... the whole size of the handle (bolsters + ivory) is as usual, but you're right, the ivory part is shorter (see attached photo).
The reasons for this are :

mammoth first quality ivory is quite hard to find. You already need two large blocks because of the "ear" shape, and longer would mean really much more expensive. So longer bolsters and shorter ivory is a good compromise ;
this is what the customer asked for, having already seen the same kind of design with another contemporary yataghan... (same constraints, same solutions).

Thanks for this interesting remark. I shall keep it in mind !

Very, very nice

, if you have any 'construction' photo's ....especially of the hilt and how it was fixed to the tang, I would be grateful if you could post them.

Kind Regards David
