Thanks for the appreciation ,
The Dagger goes by the name of Jambiya the scabbard and handle are made with some kind of pottery dough mud like, this is beautifully inlaid with silver and this work is known as meenakari ,
I am not sure of the origin but most probably it was used by royals as a personal weopan or just a utility Knife as the damascus steel blade is good enough for a wide range of application,
there is a sinlge leter on one side of the blade in Urdu or persian or Arbi same in all languages (spelled as meem)
