Default What & from Where?

I was not quite sure where I should put this little dagger.

Is it European or is it something from the East?

Does anybody know what it is?

Edit

as requested

Overall length 10" (253mm.) blade length 6" (152mm.)

Hello Alan,

Never seen anything like this. However, maybe giving some dimmensions might help.

No, definitely not. The hilt is heavier than the blade.

Incidentally, it is fine mechanical damascus.

I have never seen anything quite like this before . but to me it looks like something from the Arts & Craft movement of the 1890s

It looks Indian . The way the blade is worked in two huge fullers...
