It seems to me that the Kindjal is of recent Russian or Georgian mass manufacture.
I may be wrong due to quality of pics; maybe you can post better ones. |

The scabbard is recent for sure. If the blade is as sharp as you told,it can be an original old blade mounted to modern hilt and scabbard, but can be a modern over average quality mass produced or hand forged blade as well.

I know it can sometimes be misleading to take things at face value, but isn't this blade marked 2003? Is there any reason not to assume that is the date of manufacture.

yes but 2003 writes on the Arabic ones and Aurangzeb already accepts they are newly made. He's not sure about the kindjal.
