Mongol Dogpa knife?

I just won the auction for this, the seller describes it as a "Mongol Dogpa" knife. It doesn't look Mongol to me, at least not Khalkha Mongol, but it seems to fit somewhere along the Mongol/Tibet/China spectrum.

After some googling it seems that there a couple different ethnic groups called Dogpa or Brogpa. One is a group of Aryans living in India while the other seem to be an ethnic group in Tibet. Can anybody help me narrow the origin down?
