Nice little knife and probably meant for a specific use. In SE Asia, nicely decorated knives of this size were often used for chopping betel nuts. Did folks in Buchara chew betel? Probably not, I'm guessing.

As far as I know, betel was not chewed in Bukhara... |

Thanks Mahratt. I would have been surprised if they did.
 It was used to cut something small and of consistent size judging from the semi-circular stain in the mid-section of the blade's edge. |

Could be a sugar knife. Tea sugar and bling.

Beautiful knife Mahratt! Something ceremonial? For cutting the umbilical cord? Or for harvesting something special? Only for thought-provoking impulses!

Great versions. I don't know what the function of this knife is. I myself am very interested. That's why I turned to the collective mind of the forum
