It looks a well made knife anyway, 31cm overall, blade 21cm.....and it looked Phillipean. So guys, have I played a blinder, or dropped a clanger.

Salaams David R~ This one is a brain teaser.. Going by the scabbard alone it is Kurd...see http://www.saradistribution.com/kurdish_jambiya.htm for an alsmost identically decorated scabbard. The hilt looks like it has Syrian influence. Blade ... I have no idea.
