The yatagan or yataghan is a type of Ottoman knife used from the mid-16th to late 19th centuries
Yatagans consist of a single-edged slightly curved blade, 60-80CM Long with a bone or ivory hilt
In Ottoman period, yatagans were made in all the major cities of the Ottoman Empire, particularly Constantinople, Bursa and Filibe
One of the finest and earliest examples of the type was the weapon made for Suleiman the Magnificent, who ruled over the Ottoman Empire from 1520 to 1566.
Kilij
The Kilij, (from Turkish kılıç, literally "sword") as a specific type of sabre associated with the Ottoman Turks and the Mamluks of Egypt,
it was recognisable by the late 15th century. The oldest surviving examples sport a long blade curving slightly from the hilt and more strongly in the distal half.
The Central Asian Turks and their offshoots begun using curved cavalry swords beginning from the late Hsiung-Nu period.
The earliest examples of curved, single edged Turkish swords can be found associated with the late Hsiung-nu and Kok Turk empires.
