Default Kurdish or "Marsh Arab"
I had a similar knife but with a dark-coloured horn hilt.

It could be kurdish, but I think just as likely to be marsh arab. Also an Iraqi group.

I think fairly safe to say it is Iraq area.

Mine too had a wootz blade. A nice item. I'm sorry I sold it.

The scabbard on yours is quite striking. Very nice.
