I was watching it, too. Curious little bugger. The decorations on the blade are peculiarly flyssa-like, so I do not think it is Balkan. I think the blade is much older than the wooden parts ( purely based on a limited and superficial view of the scabbard and the handle), but somebody took pains carving a perfect match.
Cute.
