Eastern European Kinjal Dagger

Thanks everybody. A pity I can't narrow it down but it does seem to be a very generic piece. I agree the scabbard seems European but is made for this knife and the whole package seems of nice solid quality and it is a pleasure to handle.

The waisted grips and short, bifullered blade indicate the general vicinity of Trabzon, but the type was carried throughout Turkey. This dates around the founding of the Republic.
