Welcome BTW
indeed very nice "shibriya", not in silver, even silver plated as I read it, but in "white metal"
contemporary dagger, very sober, good proportions

reading of the mention (could be the commercial reason of the blacksmith)
ABDEL HAMID ???? it's a name
ABOU M'RECHE ... till yet the name
WA ALOULA'DO either AND HIS SONS
AMMAN either Jordan City
the digit 3 ... might be fabrication serial number
vertically, what seems to be a date 1990

THE REASON I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE GOOD QUALITY SILVER WAS THE REFLECTIONS IN THE PICTURE. WHITE METAL USUALLY WILL NOT SHOW A REFLECTION SILVER AND CHROME WILL. IF YOU CAN GET A LOOK AT AN EDGE OF THE METAL ON THE SCABBARD YOU CAN SEE IF ITS PLATED OR UNIFORM THRUOUT.
I KNOW THAT WOMEN IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD ARE ALLOWED TO CARRY A SMALL KNIFE AND AS FAR AS I KNOW IT IS USUALLY WORN HIDDEN BUT WITH EASY ACCESS. EITHER WAY ITS A NICE LOOKING WELL MADE LITTLE DAGGER.
