There is no stylistic connection with Turkmen work whatsoever in the knife on the left. I saw many of these in Turkish museums while doing graduate research there. They are always labeled the same, Kürt bıçağı (Kurdish Knife.) Some show better workmanship than others, however they are all quite
similar in hilt composition.
That said, if Ariel is able to show otherwise, I look forward to reading it.
