A very attractive knife IMHO.
I have no idea as to origin or age but some observations........
The hilt resembles, in shape at least, those on Kurdish daggers. The blade looks to be very functional, rather than for use as a letter opener. You do not say if the edges are sharpened, but if they are, then I would have thought that it was intended as a dagger of sorts.....maybe a ladies dagger for self protection, due to size.
