So far I know are the Saka and Kusu are neighbouring tribes but I am unsure.
Attached is a very similar knife like yours taken from the provided link and described as Saka.

Best regards,

next to the map I already downloaded, please find here a second one which might assist all of you further when it comes to ethnic / tribal determination
