Nice&complete big Surmene knife

I've spoken with a couple of Laz martial arts experts. One should take their opinions with a grain of salt, but what they said is:

a. Traditional Laz weapon is a kindjal.
b. Yataghans are not traditional, but appeared mostly due to the influence of "Trabazands Janissaries", laz by origin.
c. "Laz Bichaq" has a very _peculiar_ reputation - it's basically a distinct pirate sword.
