Kylich, Klych 'nj is a generic term for the designation of long-line weapons in Turkey. The bending of the blade begins at the end of the second third. The upper third of the blade is straight.
Elman occupies most of the upper third of the blade. Doly, in most cases, are absent.

The handle is straight or curved (the pommel does not protrude from the handle). The cross was used simple and complex (sabers XIX century).

At the canines for the riders the crosspiece could be absent. The cannon is a cutting-and-stabbing saber, which was used as foot soldiers and horsemen.

The weight of the saber varies, on average, from one to one and a half kilograms.
Massive elman allowed to use it against the soldiers in the armor of a high degree of protection.
