Syrian Khandjar for translation please

This one was purchased a few weeks ago and I am seeking a translation for another Majdali dagger. It is a bit rough with some losses and damage but nevertheless a good early example. Size is as...

Overall Length w/ sheath: 9 ½” (24.1cm)
Hilt & Blade Length: 9 ¼” (23.5cm)
Blade Length: 4 ¾” (12.1cm)

The blade is plain and strongly curved. I am unsure about the sheath. It seems to be a later replacement as it is metal with "100% PURE" and "495/44" on the back and may have been painted on the front at one point with most now missing. Any help with translations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
