6 point star is found on early Christian artifacts denoting union of Jews with their menorah and the Christian Fish symbol. It was not and is not the Star of David (which does not exist in the Bible).

Gregory Ford :

A six sided star pops up fairly naturally if you've ever played around making designs with a compass....

Gad Yariv :

The Hexagram was known as the Seal of Solomon in Islam, before it was appropriated as the star of David although archeological finding for the late roman era synagogues do contain hexagrams as ornaments, so it still could be a jewish symbol that was appropriated by Muslims and later re-appropriated by Jews to have greater religious significance in Judaism .

-=- Oral Torah, Talmudic Tradition already existed at late Roman era. Such Tradition is anti-Bible, anti-Torah, and anti-Christian. Rabbinic Judaism is anti-Christian, promoting a destructive agenda against all Gentiles, called Noahide Laws.

Jacob Hanna :

Before the modern era there was a lot of overlap between Abrahamic symbols (see also, the chamsa). Six-pointed stars were also a common motif in early Orthodox Christian art. Pretty much the only Jewish symbol that wasn't appropriated and reappropriated back and forth was the menorah.

Chee Seng, David Lim :

 @Jacob Hanna  - The menorah is seen in Christian Art and symbols very often. It is usually part of the symbol with the Christian Fish, denoting union of the OT and the NT. To date you can find such symbol used in Christian symbols and artifacts such as on the tie of some Christian pastors and evangelists. Ex-Muslim Christian Sandra Solomon has the symbol tattooed onto her arm as well.

I really thought that Victorian swords had a Star of David and that Queen Victoria made the odd claim that she was descended from house of David.  . . .

Chee Seng, David Lim :

There is an English Cult called British Israel World Federation teaching a Theology that the England are descendants of Israel or the Jews. There is a famous very nice sounding hymn: "And did those feet . . walk upon England's mountains' green. . and did the holy lamp of God shinned upon England's pasture seen . . ." claiming Jesus walked on England. https://hymnary.org/text/and_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_time

Sure it's related. Not necessarily "developed from" as sword evolution is very gradual. I think the Yatagan is Armenian in origin, Levon VI the last Cilician Armenian king had a very Yatagan looking sword, particularly in hilt construction, hundreds of years before Yatagans existed. Greeks and Armenians were very strongly interconnected in the Middle East/Anatolia prior to the Seljuk invasion which led the Turkification of the region.

Adler Mow : . . . . Did western soldiers ever used foreign weapons by choice?

Peytheus : several British officers stationed in India actually started using Tulwars while they were in India.

TL :

For sure, yes. Matt has mentioned that a few times, of officers using either straight-up tulwars, tulwar blades on Western hilts, etc.

I dont know historical past of the six-pointed star and its use in weapons but maybe its becuase Prophet David's miracle of iron craftmanship-He used to forge with bare hands and in best quality -.

Chee Seng, David Lim :

Lots of lies in Islam and the Koran. In Bible record David could not get a sword while he was fleeing from King Saul, and was told to use the sword of Goliath. Somebody who makes swords would have tendency to pick up and use his own sword. I use weapon I made as well.
