ID on dagger ?

[Emanuel]

Hello,

I don't think the Bou Saada knives can be compared to the knife in question. The former have an integral bolster forged as part of the blade, whereas the latter has a a separate bolster, very different construction.

The circle motif decoration has been shown on many different types of weapons and objects from around the world with the good argument that it developed independently in most places. It's a simple design
Same with the leather-clad wooden sheath.

I think the knife in question is a north-Indian/Central Asian derivative of the kard

Emanuel
