I was curious if anyone has any idea of what this knife I found is or what year it could be from. I asked a buddy who was from the middle east and he said it was Arabic saying the last 2 words ment "so that you can see."
The knife has a wood sheath with I think bronze inlay hand made and mother of pearl accents. Not sure of the back markings.

Parents got me one from Turkey in the 90s. Looked very similar.
Wasn't really unique and more of a tourist piece. Not sharpened at all.
 
Sorry to say, but it looks like a tourist item to me. The fit & finish isn't there for an authentic elite dagger, while a utilitarian one wouldn't have the ornamentation. The blade might be from an old sword.
