Kurdish (?) Jambiya

Pretty sure it's Kurdish... they make what to me is the most functional jambiya of all.

Who got it? I'd love to see it cleaned and etched. Sometimes they're wootz.

Yes, I would definitely say Kurdish. Perhaps for a higher ranking person with the 9 silver (?) filigree bulbs.

Here is one link of many on Artzi's site that show similar Kurdish pieces:
