Nice buy.
To me it looks like a nice tribal 'knife' with a long blade. Jens |

Thanks everyone, glad you all like it. shayde78 is correct about Tea Towel tab! It came with a scabbard, which looks to have been recovered in black hide, fairly recently.

Funnily enough, I was looking at a Turkish KILIJ sword the other day and the owner said the scabbard was probably covered in Ass hide!

Lovely example of a fearsome instrument!

Yup, looks just like mine, which sadly did not come with a scabbard. They are also sometimes referred to as 'Salawar Yataghans' as many have an almost imperceptable 'S' curved spine. (Mine does)
