Crimean Tatars knives in the 18th century

By the way, you for some reason (probably just did not notice) did not answer my question about Tatar knives, that were bought by the Tsar himself from a Bakhchisarai knifemaker in 1837. Are these exactly the knives that you brought in the photo?
Or am I misunderstood what you wrote because of my bad English?

Ariel,
So what about my question? If for the first time it could be accidentally missed, it was hard not to notice the second time ... But I have to repeat it for the third time. I am intrigued by your phrase:
"Especially interesting, IMXO, are two: the sheepherder and the pic of 2 local knives bought personally by the Tsar in Bakhchisarai in 1837."

Are you claiming that the photographs you showed in this thread show the knives that the Russian tsar bought in Bakhchisarai in 1837?
