Dagger ID & Verification Requested

Hi All,

I don’t recognize this type of dagger which is in very good condition. Both of these factors make me suspicious. On the other hand, save for some blade grind irregularities, the entire ensemble appears to be very well done and the blade is quite lethal.
The blade measures 9.5” (24.13 cm) long, 1.75” (4.445 cm) across the flat at the hilt, and .25” (6.35 mm) thick at the ricasso.
If the hilt and the sheath fittings aren’t silver, somebody did a very good job of making them look like it. Somehow, the work on the hilt and sheath reminds me of what is seen on kothimari khukris.

Sincerely,
RobT
