Hello Kubur.
A few days ago I bought an ottoman kindjal but yet not I have in my hands. I will upload a photo that I found in the internet that is similar. My opinion is this is the Ottoman type kindjal with the designation qama. |

I have a problem if the decoration is Caucasian, and maybe the blade. What makes your kindjal Turkish? I know that you are very sharp for Caucasian affairs so i'm sure that you have good reasons but for a little head like me it's not obvious... Best, Kubur |

Hello Martin!
The total length is 67 cm to 50 cm the length of the blade.It has two studs/rivets in the top of the handle( look photo) and there is some kind of glue inside.I think it's a mix of resin along with other materials. Stelios |

Here is a much more mundane example, which I believe is purely Turkish.

It's exactly what i was looking for, thanks. It's really a good catch, just a gorgeous dagger. What a shame that you don't have the scabbard. Some collectors call them Court daggers... and i think that is so wrong, let's call them daggers for wealthy people or noblemen daggers. Best, Kubur |
