Greetings, I just picked this up and have no idea how to find anything about it. It appears as if there is Arabic written on the sheath but can't find anything. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I can ask at work about the lettering on the sheath, I work with a number of people who can read arabic. To me as a novice it looks like arabic HW (Haa Waaw / Waaw Haa) although it usually means a lot more than just two letters.
 
To me it looks like knives from the former USSR like the countries such as Uzbakistan, Khasikstan. Ask to have the post moved to Bernard Levines forum if you don't get any good answers.
 
Looks like a souvenir knife. They made tons of those to sell to tourists back in the day. Now they just sell Chinese and Pakistani garbage
 
So it is arabic and reads Dereen/Direen but nobody is familiar with the word, best bet is that it might be a name.
