I agree, this knife was made to look in Uzbek style. The only blade is not of Uzbek form, and this only feature makes it non-ethnographic.
Marius, would you agree if the blade be of proper pchak form it'd be ethnographic knife?
Here's another blade from the same source but in distinctively Uzbek pchak shape, the rest is identical. Granted, this blade would make a better match with the scabbard, making it a modern ethnographic pchak. With the present knife, its a hybrid of hunting blade in pchak fittings.
Tim, thanks for posting your knife. similar pattern and form indeed.
