My grandfather gave me a antique-looking knife a while ago and I'm having trouble figuring out the origin of it. And I was wondering if there are any experts that could figure out what region of the world it came from and what possible time period it came from.

The blade looks indian, but not kilt and design on the sheath is different. Was it refitted?

Hilt design looks custom, nothing of any symbolic significance.
>>
>>2008971
The blade doesn't look indian at all desu. It doesn't look like anything Asian so you might discard that region.

The hilt looks sort of childish in a way, no really intricate. My best guess would be either a custom made knife or something native american.

On second thought it doesn't look native american at all besides the design of the hilt.

Looks like it's writting in some stylised arabic and it says Mirin, maybe something related to Banu Mirin, Morocco etc.
