hmm thats because its not form sri lanka thats why you didnt seen anything likeit . its probaly from vietnam where many peoples sheaths have varying degrees of curvature in the sheath and many have metal hands at thethroat as well. although it looks like your knife has some off opwn sides to the sheath??. the blade is typical of some knives.. but the handle is a but of a mess cant even make out its construction due to the patina.
