I personally do not think they are from Trabzon - the spliced pommel was popular throughout Turkey and even in the Balkans. I am attaching two mid 20th century knives from North-Western Bulgaria with a spliced pommel and a kama with similar hilt decoration and blade markings, also found in Bulgaria. This is why pinpointing a specific place of origin in Turkey is hard.

Teodor
