It's a Laguiole-style PakkaWood Handle, Damascus blade knife. Not really expensive, but decent quality, and I really like the colour too :D.
I got from a craftsman in Cyprus:

^^^ Thanks for the added photos! It's really very nice. I've not been attracted to the Laguiole-style knives in the past but something like this could sway me.

Is there anything written on the blade?

Nope, as said, it's made in a small workshop. The steel isn't that great, but the knife looks and feels nice and the sheath was very good. Also the snap is one of the strongest I ever saw.
Seller was leoncustoms on eBay... he should probably still have some.
I got this as auction for 11 USD shipped, sheath and all.

It sure ain't worth much more except for the emotional side! The gaps on the spring side are impressive. It looks like it originates from somewhere between China and Pakistan.
 
Charles an interesting example of MOP and stainless with some fine file-work, and dated Christmas 1938! Must've been an old artisan who made that one, from pre Great War Sheffield hayday.

Here's a contemporary which is an outstanding slicer and food knife, Sandvik, filework is modest but it is I think, in harmony. Chambriard le compact, en ebene.
