This type of long kamas with crystal shaped cross section with a pronounced spine and no fullers(they were typically called "Daghistani kama"s whether they were made in Caucaus region or not)were very popular inTurkey until better half of the 20th century; you can dfind at least one example in any given antique store, all around Turkey. So there is a possiblilty that this might be Turkish.
