The qama is a short North Caucasian dagger. It has a long wide double-edged blade and is native to the North Caucasus. The qama was also traditionally carried by the Cossacks who adopted it from the peoples of the Caucasus, and is commonly referred to as the "Cossack dagger". It resembles the Roman gladius and Scottish dirk. As the Kabardian linguist Shagirov writes, the name of the dagger came from the Turkic languages.
