another kindjal; big rivets and huge final ball

[francantolin]

Hello and Thank's a lot Werecow for your comments,

Really nice quaddara ! sadly not yours ( neither mine )

what is uncommon in this kindjal are as you said these large knobs/rivets,
2cm/ 0,8 inches high
and a particularly thin but long blade : 3cm/1,2 inches at larger part of the blade
and scabbard with this huge final ball, 2,3cm/0,9 inches diameter

complex of the owner ?

more seriously, a caucasian habit ? from a close geographic area or fashioned sytyle in a period ( glad if we can defin-fix it when !)

Kind regards

Here a foto of a Kama-dagger made in Dagestan. I think it is very similar to the piece in question.

Indeed. For now I'll have to make do with my kindjal (of the Caucasian variety; excuse the poor picture quality, my phone's camera is not great, especially in low light).
Oh and definitely take everything I say with a huge grain of salt, as I've only been collecting for a couple of years and my knowledge is still pretty limited.
