I do not know what this knife is, but it is not Bulgarian.

Sajen, my humble guess of its origin would be the area near Northeast Turkey. The bifurcated horn pommel and blade decoration reminds me of the laz bichaq swords (Black Sea Yataghan). Interesting little knife though!

Hello Teodor, Geoff and Eftihis,

Thank you very much for comment!

So it's most probably not Bulgarian or Greece but could be from the Black Sea area which was my first guess also!
My hope is that Sfenoid chime in and confirm it.

Thank you again and best regards,
Detlef

Thank you Stefan! I will show it by time with some other 19th century Faca de Ponta.
