Caucasian or Cossack "Kindjal" Knife
broad double-edged blade, spear point, exaggerated oval in cross-section. Wide variation in blade lengths from about 5 to 15 inches; this knife is very similar to the Qama of Georgia (a region located in the former USSR), but the Qama varies less in dimensions, especially length and is usually of better quality.
Scabbards are usually leather and may be covered with ornate hammered sheet-metal, usually silver.
