Your thread is very useful and informative, we are all obsessed by something. No worries here...
But we are all the same and a forum is for discussion.
Being from Bosnia or the Balkans doesn't make you more knowledgeable than others.

It is the book that I have Kozo!
It's a nice book but as I said 20% of the knives are not from the Balkans. So if it is your reference then you might be mistaken.

This is a good example, the decoration on top of the blade can be found in many countries of the Ottoman empire.
So as you wrote, your knowledge on other arms is virtually zero...
My friendly advice would be: read on other countries otherwise all you will see in the Balkans will be from the Balkans...
Many Russians and Caucasians are doing the same mistake.
