I have added a Kyber sword/knife to my collection. Its 74 cm long so I am inclined to call it a sword. Blade is wootz with a wide T-spine, really sturdy.
Grip is bone or ivory. It fits snug in the scabbard that has a really unatractive repair.

I would call it Afhanistan 19th century. I was hoping that someone could pin age and place of manufacture a little more precisely.

Thanks!
