Yes Nepalese or possibly North Indian, Darjeeling? That is a big one. Are those squares 1"? The shape is ever-so slightly similar to that of Khyber knives and other knives from the region. Only a few weeks ago we were shown military Khyber knives with the same sort of guard.

Except Darjeeling is far away from the Khyber region
