It appears that hilts with prongs are not characteristic to Albania alone, but more generally to the Ottoman empire (see the link below, to mine that was made in Damascus).

Regarding the Kurdish daggers that I saw, they all have "I" shaped hilts similar to the one in the second drawing, but with oval cross-section instead of round. The dagger here, in the original posting could be Kurdish in my oppinion.

My wootz Kurdish Jambiyah for comparison, I too noted the OP's example as being very Kurdish looking.

Мне кажется что там нет текста, это имитация

It seems to me that there is no text, this is an imitation
