How time flies! A similar knife was sold at the Imperial auction in 2010 with the attribution "knife of the Crimean Tatars". The owner offered to discuss it in one of the Russian forums. It was a heated discussion on 37 pages!
Most of the participants - but by no means all! - came to the conclusion that this is a knife from Afghanistan.
