Thanks, from other knife forums, I got most likely India or Pakistan,
very recently made (figured that :-). Whatever, it isn't Scandinavian
that is for certain.

Rich,

It is very hard to judge this knife from the pictures.

I have no idea about the quality of the blade, but I do remember seeing those pommel decorations on scandinavian knives. Unfortunately I have no references for it.

Pointing to India or Pakistan is maybe a little bit too easy.

Something about this reminds me of those knives shaped in a similar way but often with a horn handle, decorated with inlay coloured discs of various materials form Syria and there abouts. The shape of the scabbard and handle seem to me very similar indeed as is blade.
