Kilij - 1095 Steel- Turkish Saber Sword - 35"
type: Product
description: The kilij is the sabre of the Ottoman Empire: a deeply curved single-edged blade crowned with the flared yelman tip that made its silhouette famous from the gates of Vienna to the palaces of Istanbul. This hand-forged kilij measures 35 inches overall, with a 1095 high-carbon steel blade, the classic flared yelman, a steel crossguard, and a curved grip with downturned pommel in the traditional Turkish style. The blade is forged, heat treated, and hand sharpened by master smiths with a full tang for genuine battle-ready construction. All Battling Blades orders ship from our own warehouse in Illinois, and custom engraving is completed in-house before your kilij leaves our facility.

Our smiths forge that geometry in 1095, heat treat it for the right balance of hardness and resilience, and hand sharpen both the main edge and the yelman's back edge to a clean polish.
