Help identify short sword from Nepal

THE BLADE IS THE USUAL SHAPE FROM THE AREA, TIBET, CHINA AND NEPAL. THE HANDLE IS A BIT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I HAVE USUALLY SEEN FROM CHENGDU CHINA AREA. THE DESIGN ON THE SCABBARD IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN AMONG TIBET/CHINESE EXAMPLES. I LIKE THE DESIGN A LOT. THE KNIFE APPEARS VERY WELL MADE AND IS A BIT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN THOUGH THE WORKMANSHIP SEEMS TO FOLLOW THE SAME TECKNIQUES. CONGRADULATIONS A VERY NICE KNIFE.
