Rare "Bichaq" knife with a straight blade, damascene iron handle decorated with a vegetal motif, wooden sheath covered with fabric (silk?) And two solid silver fittings (most certainly Turkish punches), Ottoman Empire origin, XVIIIth century.
This knife is in good condition, it is in its own juice. The two silver parts are hallmarked (see photos.)
A note: the fabric is very worn, some shocks and bumps on money, dirt and wear of time, ocydation and snags on the blade, look at the pictures.
