I would like to make a Russian knife

I believe that the traditional Russian is a yataga, what do you know, you would have photos and measures thanks

 

 

Have you PM'd the smith that participates here and lives in Russia yet for suggestions?

There are lots of different "Russian Knives" as Russia had a number of different ethnicities involved in it'd history---including the Vikings!

thanks for the right suggestion, if I can and do not disturb and I am not boring, you would have some reference photos, thanks for what material and heat treatment I should adopt, thank you for your cooperation, sorry if I'm petulant, thanks

 

 

it would look like a bayonet or a small saber, an oriental scimitar, right, am I wrong?

 

I believe you are thinking of a Yatagan, Mostly from the Ottoman Empire the Balkans and the Caucasus. To me when I think of the traditional Russian knife, the Cossack knives come to mind.

I agree.  Saw a couple of nice Kindjal (traditional Cossack daggers) on one trip to the Metropolitan Museum's Arms and Armor exhibit (a must see if on a visit to New York City).  See here for examples: https://www.google.com/search?q=cossack+kindjal&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjr4YmA7J3hAhUh1VkKHY34BggQsAR6BAgIEAE&biw=1680&bih=911.  As I recall they are of various sizes, but all fit in what I would call the dagger classification.  I"m pretty certain they have a book covering information about their collection, but with the correct name, perhaps you can do the research yourself.

There are, of course, other traditional eastern European blades, including scimitar/saber styles.  Note, I would never go to "Kult of Athena" for information on traditional blades.

thanks for the right suggestions, there is a photo album inside the forum where you can take pictures, pictures, drawings, measures to use as reference shapes, thanks again
