Hi Turkoman.khan
Thanks for translating the inscription.
I'm wondering about "SAHIB". Is it a "given name" like John or Bill ?
I read it was used in the past to give respect to someone you talk to, as a polite manner to adress or as a title.
Can then be deduct this knife was a gift or a present to a "KHAN" a leader or a chieftain named MANJI ?
Regards
