Hi Tim,
I really like the dagger, things that are made to use rather than decorate always, to me, seem to have a bit extra in the interest department. Although I'm not particularly knowledgeable I would think the blade has a somewhat Indian appearance and the grip looks to have some aspects of styling akin to pieces found closer to Ottoman influences. Reminds me a bit of this knife with regard to origin as it also appeared to have stylistic input from several regions. I wouldn't have minded at all adding your latest aquisition to my collection.
My Regards,
Norman.
