Agree with Spiral. This is an Afghan attempt to imitate a Nepalese kukri, even down to the stylized cho at forte. The inscription of "Afghanistan" on the blade indicates it is a decorative item for the American/European tourist, and the lavish file work and chiseled embellishments are to make it more appealing to the Western tourist's eye.
