Could it be Kashghari dagger rather that Tibetan?

I think the curvature is to make the item rub/catch less on a person or garment when it is worn.

Ariel,
why do You suppose the dagger might be from Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan? IMO the works on silver and the use of coral and turquoise are more in Tibet style. I send the pics of Herman Historica booklet. The two daggers seems similar to my one.

You are correct. My memory played a trick on me.
Kashgar knives ( Uyghur people) look very similar to Uzbeki Pichoks.
