Trabzon Surmene...
And a very nice one!
These knives had the most intricate system of fullers. The handle looks particularly nice and the suspension belt is a rarity. And look at the weave of leather straps at the top of the scabbard: doesn't it look just like Laz Bicagi?
Lew, I was always very happy about you limiting yourself to African stuff ( because I do not collect them); why did you decide to cross the border? Looking for a fight, infidel invader?

Well, on the other hand, I am glad you finally saw the light! Enjoy!
