I recently obtained this knife in a lot of other less interesting knives. The hilt is some non-ferrous metal, the guard and blade are (obviously) steel. The blade is approximately 6 inches, with the overall length being about 9 1/2 inches. There is a shallow fuller framed by engraving on each side of the blade. Something about this knife makes me think it is of Greek origin but this is just conjecture on my part. I don't have a set place to photograph my pieces yet, so these photos probably aren't that great.

No input at all on this knife? I don't recall seeing something similar to this knife before so I thought this piece would drum up some interest. If anyone has a similar piece please post it here. I am currently away from home now so I won't be able to provide any additional photos until Sunday or Monday.

Well that might explain the type of decor technique used. Often used in the Middle East and into the north India region.

The grip, guard, pommel, blade root all appear to be soldered together nicely. Cool.
![]() Is the tang thru the pommel & peened? |

I did not even consider this region of the world as a possibility. I'm not familiar with a style of knife from this region that resembles my knife at all, if my knife still had it's sheath I imagine that would make tracking down it's origin much easier.
