Comments, please on Turkish Knife, made from a file

Thanks for your comments Ariel. I foolishly forgot the dimensions

Blade to bolster is 17.5cm (7'')
Blade width (at bolster) is 3cms (1 3/8 '')
overall length is approx. 29cm ( 11 1/2 '')

Blade is 4.5mm thick (spine just after bolster) and has distal taper, balance point is at mid point of the bolster. Looks as if the silver banding (on the scabbard) may have had some Arabic type script which is all but polished out
