Kinjal info please

I've been updating my database this weekend. The first piece in my collection was purchased at the Grand Bazaar Istanbul in 2001 before I started to explore ethnographic weapons. This is out of my collecting area. The silver fittings seem higher quality than the rest of the knife. The black material is not leather, it appears to be some type of resin that has been textured and stamped. I'm hoping someone can tell me what I have.
