similar zira bouk, koftgari hand grip, pattern welded blade - 11 in. overall

i suspect it is a bit newer than yours

i have a Kard with the same 'C' cut on the lower portion of the grip which is also cut into the tang such that the tang aft of the cut is a mm or so higher from the cut to the pommel end, the step is noticeable.
