Thanks for the help!! It is definitely a Persian fighting knife, or Jambiya. There is a pic of an almost identical knife from 1977 if you Google it. Thanks again!

The blade is hand forged I believe and it has engraved hand written letters on it....not Chinese, maybe Arabic? It doesn't show well in the one pic but it is there. Seems to be a pliable metal handle and sheet (spelled wrong)  and those are glass beads. It has a place to go on a belt on the other side. I'm gonna bring it to a knife person I guess. It is very interesting.
