help with this ritual dagger

It looks like a lek nam pi dagger used by the buddhists of southeast asia to ward off evil spirits. The carvings appear to be sanskrit as well. The dagger looks to be really old, otherwise it may have fallen into some saltwater and had been immersed there for quite sometime.

I may be wrong of course, but it does appear to be a mitmor spirit knife. How have you come by it, if you dont mind me asking
