decoration on the scabbard.
Any ideas?

Hi Stu,
Your knife is really intriguing me, I have since revised my opinion and think it is a Shula knife, one of the options offered by Kubur, but even then I have not seen that type of handle on a Shula knife although the blade and scabbard look like Shula. I am surprised that no more of the members who have more knowledge of this type of weapon have not commented.
