Cthulhu:
I don't think you should feel guilty or ashamed for buying a nice dagger believing it was perhaps older than it is. There is a strong market for these well made knives and they are produced within a culture that has been making them for centuries. It's a genuine Indian knife made in an older style, but probably produced recently and not an antique. We all live and learn. 
I know a few people who would pay several hundred dollars for such a knife.

 Oh well; they can't all be antiques.
