I read it was used in the past to give respect to someone you talk to, as a polite manner to adress or as a title.
Can then be deduct this knife was a gift or a present to a "KHAN" a leader or a chieftain named MANJI ?

Hello, Hagard
I think your version is correct.
Best Regards

Hi Turkoman.khan,
I was just hazarding a guess ... nothing certain of course.
May I ask you f the colours of the translated words are correct?
I found another choora on the site with "similar" writing on the blade but sadly the pics are unclear. I'll try to contact the owner to get some close-ups.
Regards
