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.

Very interesting shape. (I'm big fan of curves and round shapes.)
Heh.. I had to google what that "G10 scales" means. First i think that handle was made from bone, because the color was just the same what i have seen in some museum pieces.

Yes, I have showed it to 3 people in person now and the first thing they all said was "what nice horn!" then had to explain it was a laminate like fiberglass.
