Kilij compared to classic shamhsir
In this photo the kilij is laid over a classic shaped shamshir from the period of SHah Abbas. You can see how the curvature changes when the blades near their tips. The shamshir underneath has a very long 35" blade that makes the kilj look short, the kilij blade is 31" in length.
