Balkan Knife?

I do not know the subtleties of these knives but I am sure it will not be too long before more information is proffered. The handle is bone and horn. The blade is 22cm long, blued and has some brass inlay. Thanks Tim.

Jambiya, turko-syrian, end of 19th century.

(as usually, just a guess...)
