they look like mine, here's my salawar yataghan, surprisingly light, agile & well balanced. 21.5 in. blade, 27 in. loa. if you hold the spine on a desktop, there is in fact a subtle yataghan-like 'S' curve to the spine. you can see it in the photo if you know it's there. the edge appears to be unrecurved tho.


my karakulak yataghan of more 'normal' curves is not t-spined

(the scabbard is home made out of a disassembled tourist tulwar one to give me some place to keep it. )
