Last year there was a seller on ebay with about 6 or 7 of these, all recent but well-made examples with decorated soft leather sheaths. Haven't seen any more in a long while, but he did tell me that there were some people still making very good ones there. His father was a 1rst gen here and apparently had brought several back from a recent trip.

A colleague from Russia just informed me that in his opinion this is an Uighur knife.
