			Hi Lew: 
  
 Like a choora -- but not quite. I wonder if this is a relatively recent Uzbeck or Pakistan knife. Or from a group thereabout. The cloth covering on the sheath is atypical for the usual Khyber knives, which have leather-covered wooden sheaths, and may offer a clue to its origins. 
  
 Interesting piece. Did this one come from Sue? 
  
 Ian.
