That is a very fancy Indian or Nepalese hunting bowie style knife late 19th or early 20th century. Probably made for a British Officer.

Here is a link to more
they are still being produced, those are current production models. they have been asked by someone to make one like mine, and i've seen a couple very similar there since but not quite the same. try a search here also on 'nepali bowie', some discussion in earlier threads... |
