Hi Spiral
not owner ... "amal" means; the one who has done

- the scabbard ?? might be
- the blade ?? I doubt, the blacksmith sign on the blade
- the complete dagger ?? a possibility
BUT
I am sharing Alex analyse when he mention ;
writing it is much later, very crudely done and not matching the rest of scabbard..

for general information; owner in Arabic, is "sahreb" and we don't have that word
