Its in the Pesh-Kabz, Choora, Kard/Karud family. I would call it a Choora but I could be wrong and certainly someone here will know better than I do. they are from Persia, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan areas

It's called a choora and it comes Northern Pakistan or Afganistan. Yours looks to be an old one probably late 19th century. Here is one that I picked up a few months ago. Nice find congrats!

Thanks Louieblades
I got this one today at an antique store for 45 dollars.
I think I did OK but i am not real familiar with these type knives.

By the way yours is very fine.

Do you know what the little piece of metal that sticks out of the pommel is?
