It reminds me of Selawa, popularly known as Khyber Knife, modified by Indian bladesmiths. Zira Bouk tip, is something that real Afghani Selawas never had: they were used as purely chopping weapons as per British military surgeons.
Can we use any Indian name? I am not sure: IMHO, it is outside any Indian tradition . I would call it “modified Afghani Selawa” and run for cover .
