Blade shape, fullering(though poorly executed) and ferrule say "dha" to me, and the carved hilt is rather odd looking at first glance, but were it ivory, I think most of us would be jumping at a "dha" identity.
The leather covered scabbard is something of a stretch, rather odd.
I think this a contemporary dha knife made as an "eye catcher". The poor quality of the blade, hilt carving and scabbard suggest very little age.
Interesting nonetheless.
