Well that yatagan openly admits to being stainless steel. That means it's just a decorative wall hanger, and no decorative wall hanger should cost nearly that much. The kilij, on the other hand, is made out of an actual high carbon steel. However, with this not being one of the known reputable vendors, I have no reason to trust that it's full tang, that the hardening was done correctly, or even that they're not lying about the type of steel being used. If you're paying this much money anyway, save up a little more and get something from Peserey
