I am still voting for North India and thereabouts.
The red and blacks are seen on Lohar along with the same symbols but then the symbols as discussed in these pages long ago are found in almost every region of the world....

the decoration on the handle, I do not come on. but which is on the blade is special.
the style it is a good working knife, but the attachment is unusual with the short part in the handle.
In the country of origin is no shortage of ivory.
