A very similar weapon was carried by the Mongol soldiers and served a similar purpose as the Wakazashi did for the Samurai. It was a short sword, which in the battle served as a secondary weapon and off the battle field it was carried by the soldiers in places where taking the full size battle sword would be considered inappropriate.
As the Mongol empire expanded the weapon was adopted by others in the region. It especially became popular in the Persian Empire and from there worked its way down to the middle east and up to Turkey. The modern Bebut is one form of this adaptations. Influenced by the Arabic short swords (Qama) it was brought to Ukraine by the Turks (Tatars). Ukrainian Cossacks adopted the design, but added a couple of their own touches to it. They sharpened the spine, so the Bebut is double edged and also they gave the sword a more Cossack style sheath/scabbard to match the rest of their gear.rn Bebut has been ctured by e piece for any collector and martial arts enthusia

Kizlyar
Dagestan is a southern Russian province with a long and decorated history of warfare and weapon craft. It has a prestigious weapon manufacturing history that dates back to the 14th century. Some areas were dedicated to the production of swords and daggers (sashka and kinjhal) while others focused on firearms and the decoration of both previous types, but all would bear characteristics unique to Dagestan.
Presently, the firm of IE Kizlyar Ltd. has the responsibility of upholding the traditions and crafts of those by-gone days by continuing the ancient trade of weapon manufacturing, whether its the production of traditional Cossack sashka (sabre), kinjhal (dagger) or finely crafted hunting and decoration knives forged in Damascus steel, adorned with precious stones and metals.In 1992, IE Kizlyar Ltd. (previously known as «Energoremont») produced it’s first run of knives for special orders. Upon completion, the knives were of such high quality that many more orders were soon to follow, and thus the excellent reputation of Kizlyar Knives was forged.April 1995 was to be a milestone in the companies history, being the first company in Dagestan to receive a licence for permission to manufacture hunting and military knives. Under Russian law, these items are classed as «cold weapons» and therefore, authorisation is required to legitimately produce them. This brought about the conception of the first, highly popular knife models - Scorpion, Taiga and Berkut. These found favour almost immediately with Special Forces and Police due to their aggressive design, nature and ultimate reliability.
