Comments, please on Turkish Knife, made from a file

The connection between the blade and the hilt reminds me of the bosnian knives often labeled as "Bosnian Fighting Knife" from the late 1800's - see Tirri page 168, fig 118 (top) - not the best pic though. Specifically the way the brass wraps the base of the edge. I'll try to post a pic - I'm an FNG so no promises this will work..... Anyways, my two cents is possibly Balkans or similar.
