Good Day David
no comment for the knife, I dunno that type
I'm waiting with interest to know what the specialists they will decide
the scabbard it's as you said,
a Kurdish made in wood with of tooled leather and it has nothing to do with the knife
may be useful, when you will find a Kurdish jambiya with a naked blade ...

The dagger looks like an early to mid 20th century Piece from India? Like Dom said the scabbard belongs to a Kurdish jambiya. Your dagger probably started out as some type of naval dagger
