yataghan
A yataghan is a type of traditional Turkish sword used from the mid-16th to late 19th centuries. Its distinctive feature is its double-curved shape, similar to a scimitar, with the edge on the concave side, which gives the user a longer reach. The hilt does not have a guard and has a unique eared design. These swords were often ornately decorated and used by both infantry and cavalry soldiers.
