This is a mystery to me. Beautiful design but I am not sure where this comes from. ...Asia??It looks like a dagger? Is it silver design? I am not sure of the age.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Not sure why you think this has anything to do with Ghurkas... It is not like anything that I have seen tied to Ghurkas or Nepal. No idea of the origin of this knife. It is pretty fancy and impractical for a working knife, perhaps for ceremonial use?

It is a Phia-Kaetta from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Fairly uncommon. Nice find for sure.
