Default Shibriya, I think. for comment?

Hi all
Just picked up the attached knife
Blade is just under seven inches and of reasonable quality
Some rough grinding marks towards the handle so it was never made to look good
Quiet sharp and has the look of a working blade
Handle is wood and very comfortable in hand, black coloured wood, looks as if part near the pommel has chipped off
Scabbard has tooled design on one side and is fine leather covering wooden core
I am assuming it is a working Shibriya from Israel, Syria
Is there anything anyone can add or correct with my assumptions
The handle is unlike anything I could find on the forum
Any opinion on age
Picked knife up in a local auction so no story attached
Any additional pictures can be supplied
Regards to all
Ken
