Does this mean that nobody knows for sure where this mystery dagger came from?

Personally I have seen a few of these over the last year or so and I had assumed that they were shibriya variants,I have a shibriya in my collection that has a blade with the same curve instead of a recurve.

Interesting, I never even thought of a shabriya varient but now that you mention it the hilt does look like one. Mark... |

Just a thought maybe it is african perhaps Libya for it shows both african and middle eastern influences, I am probably wrong. I got it today and it has both a Iraqi and North African feel to it, odd? Maybe Artzi whould know?

Im also looking forward to what Artzi would have to say about these,they dont seem to make knives in that part of the world that he doesnt know about.
As promised heres the shibria that has the single curved blade: |
