The Janissary Kilij was the standard service kilij of the Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire during the 16th century.
Description
An exemplar of the Turkish scimitar commonly called the kilij, the Janissary Kilij is a single-edged, curved sword whose blade "flares" outward suddenly at its last third point towards the tip. Although quite heavy and not particularly resilient, it was a deadly weapon capable of inflicting devastating wounds.[1]
History
At the height of the Ottoman Empire, the Janissary Kilij was the standard sword of the Janissaries, the empire's elite infantry corps. Despite its prestigious status, the scimitar was made available for public purchase by blacksmiths in Constantinople beginning in the latter half of 1511.[1]
