I've been fascinated by Turkish swords since I was a child, but I'm constantly distracted by the West's perspective and analysis of each blade. I never had any of them yet . But can I ask you how it feels or how best to describe the difference in use between the three shapes of Kilij, Yatagan, and Sultan Mehmed II's sword?
Tarih bilen sıradan bir Türk olarak cevap verebilirim ki, Yatağan kılıcı tek elli bir kılıçtır Kılıç'ın sonuna doğru olan genişlik genellikle tüm türk kılıçlarında görülür. Bunun nedeni ivme ve momentum gücünü arttırmaktır. buna örnek olarak karabela kılıcını verebilirim. Fatih'in kullandığı kılıçlar ağır Yaklaşık 7 kg ağırlığında, düşmanın kalkanını parçalayıp zırhı delip parçalamak hedeflenir. buna islam dan Hazreti Ali'nin kılıcı olan Zülfikarı örnek verebilirim.
@@talhaevcil6446 thanks for the insight brother, I'm just curious why the Yatagan was created when the Kilj was already so efficient, it's hard to just stick to the reason of weapons for Jannisaries, because the light blade is specifically intended for arrow troops this just makes sense... and if I don't misunderstanding means the Yatagan still makes more sense for modern combat than the heavier Kilj, hope I'm not mistaken, I learned a little about curve optimization and drag coefficient, and also a bit of metallurgy.. When I noticed the Yatagan blade with its similarities to the Shribiya and the Kilj with Janbiya which has almost influenced the whole world (e.g. Badik, Rentjong, Kukri, Kopis, to Navaja, Laguiole and even Bowie), this blade was not created based on guesswork and imagination.. it's amazing
Kilij is the primary sword. Generally used on horseback. And on foot if it necessary. Kilij is basically for cutting but its pretty good at thrusting too. Its a bit wider compare to persian shamsir and i saw a comment about that. It says that the kilij designed like that for using against heavy european swords for stability. Thats really makes sense to me actually. Yatagans are secondary swords. For close encounters probably. Shorter and reverse curved. Actually they are like an axe. They splits the target more than cutting. Which is very scary. There are multiple variations of yatagans though. Some of them are smaller and like a blade. And Mehmed II's famous sword is straighter and longer. It has a beautiful characteristic curve. I think that sword is kind of a ceremonical sword. Probably not used on battlefield. But its great.
wow very beautiful sword 😍
The yatagan, yataghan or ataghan, also called varsak, is a type of Turkish Ottoman knife or short sabre used from the mid-16th to late 19th century.

Yatağan kılıcı genellikle kalkan ile kullanılır ve oklu birlikler tarafından kullanılır, kalkan daire şeklinde olur.
yay ve ok kullanıldığı zaman Kalkan sırta takılır ve arkadan gelebilecek ok darbeleri bir nebze engellenir.

Thats not a katana
Yeah, it's not a katana. It wasn't used on an island. It was used in an empire that once ruled the world.
