Pleasure! I suspect the inscription on the blade is in Kannada, but I’m far from sure

Hi RSWORD,

The first digit appears to be a Devnagiri 2 and the second digit may be a 5 (although the curlicue at the bottom is atypical. You can look up Devnagiri numerals on line and see what you think.

Sincerely,
RobT
