Ariel called it. It's Afghan work, mid-late 20th century.
These were sold to NATO, American and other soldiers as tourist pieces.
Some earlier pieces, c. 1900-mid century, were engraved after the fact.
This is not to say they weren't carried by Afghans and others, I have no
doubt they were. Is it sharp?
