Yatağan knives are produced in the Yatağan district of Denizli, from where they get their name. This region is known both in Turkey and around the world for its centuries-old knife-making tradition. Used since the Ottoman period, Yatağan knives have gained a reputation for their curved structure, sharpness and durability.

Knife production in Yatağan is still largely based on manual labor. Craftsmen shape the iron by forging it over a hot fire, then sharpen it with special sharpening techniques. Horn, bone or wood is usually used for the handles, and aesthetic patterns are added to the blades. For this reason, Yatağan knives are not only a cutting tool, but also a cultural heritage product with artistic value.

Today, the knives produced in Denizli Yatağan are preferred for both daily use and collection purposes. Many collectors even consider Yatağan knives to be among the “most unique knives in the world”.
