That's not a kilij, that's Shamshir. Kilij has a big knife edge growing out something like a Scimitar.

It's really cool, I mean, REALLY cool- just not a kilij.

Shamshir is the improper term, as it lack a yelman, thanks man!

Very nice. One thing I like about your blades is the very utilitarian aura they have. Not a lot of fancy gew-gaws(I love that word). They look like what they are; a tool to make a job easier. Not that their job is a particularly nice one.

Good work.

Thanks, I like making using blades, what would be known as "munitions grade".

The slightly downward curved hilt is something i love to see, it chages the cut dynamic in good ways (powerful slashes)

This one is a fave.

It is a very sick cutter, thanks!
