Default Armenian? Georgian? silver dagger

I was wondering in what language this script is written. Then, we may discuss for translation... It lloks to me from the type of the letters as Armenian or from Georgia... Anyone recognises it?

It's definitely Armenian. Can you post the whole inscription in one photo. I will try to translate for you. A clearer photo will be better, if possible of course.
