Thank you Emanuel, Rashka and Ariel for your comments.
Islamic 1301 is equal 1884 Gregorian. That time Crete was under the Ottoman Empiry (I apologize if I am wrong). I think that determinant for the place of use is the style of the handle (more or less generally). Could it be, that it was produced by Turkish artisan in Crete ? (I think there is written Ali on the blade, but this still nobody confirmed ...)
Regards,
Martin
