Can you show more? It looks vaguely Caucasian because of niello. On the other hand the form reminds Arabian Akrab. Need more info.

How about the handle and blade?
This is a striptease show: slow, with a lot of anticipation and peek-a boo-ing :-) Any markings would be extremely useful, too. |

The device is the 'aghrab' which symbolizes scorpion, apotropaic in Arabian lore.
