Yelman

Elman, elman (chagat, jalman, "point, blade", tour yalman "upper part of the sword near the point") is an extension in the so-called "weak part of the blade," in the upper third of the blade from the point.

Elman is typical for the Eastern European and Asian cold steel of the saber type.

Serves to strengthen the chopping blow due to the inertia of the blade. An important role in this method is played by the shape of the handle and the rounded pommel.

Elman can both be pronounced, and gradually expanding. I could have sharpening both on one side and double-sided.

At the sabers of the eastern work, clearly visible clearly elman.
