Dom, I'm curious, what makes this Ottoman vs Persian?

Hi Battara
Persian was more attracted by "jambiya", also,
they wasn't bother, to have human, animal representations, on theirs daggers, helmets and so ...
nevertheless, the blade is Indo-Persian,
his decor, is very simple, but very good taste
I have a "Kart" in my collection, with "johar" blade, also
it's even, more simple than the one shown here, it is Ottoman

pic attached;
- Ottoman "kart" it's the one on top
under
- Ottoman "pich-qàbz" (Uzbek - Bukhara)

best regards
