Default I.D. for a Kurdish Jambiya

Hi everybody
presented as a nice 19th C. kandjar jambiya dagger
with a fine wootz blade that was patterned as a flaming blade
eBay n° : 290750065409 (auction ended)

I didn't pushed my bids, the flaming blade created me, a disturbance
the wootz seems old, Indo-Persan,
I have a difficulty to imagine Kurdish men with a Jambiya equipped with a blade from India,
it was that my feeling ... and ...

what's your expertise ? I was wrong ? this type of dagger is common ?
just to know, for an other time ...
thanks per anticipation for your comments

best regards
