thanks for all the comments, nice to see some discussion....

koummya blades i've seen have the major edge on the inside of the curve, false edge on outside, and very different grips.

kirpan have a similar shape, so i could accept this is an indian copy.

especially if it's good enough to have jim think it was a good example of a federal dirk. i do not have access to the ref. mtls. he listed....

if it is a replica, good thing i only paid a tenner for it. the one in the link ref. i found which looks like it, nut & all, is going for almost $200 & i don't like it as much.
