It looks like a Bhutanese knife. The shape of both the blade and the waisted hilt are characteristic, as are the construction and tripatite covering of the sheath. The gadrooned brass fittings ("khaser") are typical on Bhutanese edged weapons that do not use a higher-grade metal. Sheet brass is common on knives and swords that are lower grade but not solely utility examples.
