Balkan knife

This knife found it's way into my collection recently. There don't seem to be enough definitive characteristics to attribute it to one particular area, so it will simply be a Balkan knife or Ottoman influenced knife for now. The seller I purchased it from is from Bulgaria, but this knife doesn't resemble any of my Bulgarian knives. The only book I have on Balkan arms is The Arms of Greece and Her Balkan Neighbors in the Ottoman Period, so I'll probably go pore over that and see if I've missed anything.
