Sorry, I have to repeat the question:

I have already tried to explain to you in several topics that it is impossible to study the history and history of weapons in particular using "a quick glance". You should know this from your medical practice. Analyzes, additional researches, consultations of other experts are necessary. You can't learn weapons just by flipping through picture albums. This is unacceptable, this is a profanity.
You can read in Russian. To begin with, I can recommend to you the academic work of А.Н.Кирпичников "Древнерусское оружие" (A.N.Kirpichnikov "Old Russian weapons"). You will understand that weapons cannot be considered separately, taken out of the cultural and historical context. Weapons are always associated with an era, costume, decorative art, ritual, etc. Examining individual items with a quick glance - this approach is characteristic of a collector or dealer: he went to the counter, chose and bought something. Science works differently.
You, instead of understanding what real Russian knives looked like, argue with me, but buy fake ones.
