Kurdish Jambiya?

At least that's what I assume it is. There aren't any decorations on the scabbard and there's a belt loop soldered to the back, which doesn't seem right. The blade shape is strange as well. I'm not sure if it's a carelessly made blade that was never meant to be used (souvenir/wall hanger), or if it's a "real" blade that's been used and ground down so much that it looks odd. It does have a raised spine in the middle but it's very slight. The edges are pretty sharp.

I haven't poked the white parts of the hilt with a hot needle yet, but I assume it's bone. It could be plastic though, it's awfully shiny.
