Ottoman Bıchaq, possibly Bosnia?
 

Good evening to the forum. I recently acquired this Ottoman bıçak; it appears to have ivory, and faint remains of acid etching on the blade. On the metal fittings of the ears (hilt extensions), there is arabesque work that extends up to the blade. The color is gray, and for a moment I thought it was paint, but there is no evidence that it has been painted.

I would like to know if you could help me identify it and also tell me the name of the technique used for the arabesques on the metal joint between the ears. Additionally, the pommel has a distinctive finish.

thanks in return!

Nice. I like the floral decor.

I think this is Cretan though.

While the pictures do not show the blade, it looks like you have a Cretan knife. A search of the forum will produce some similar examples for comparison.
