Any info on this knife?

I was searching for info on a custom knife I had and I sent a picture and email to Arizona Knife and they were quick to respond. You might visit their website and reach out to them. Good luck.
I could totally be wrong, but looks a bit like the Damascus that comes out of the middle east. When knife selling was big through IG (before they started shutting it down RIP the #knifesale hashtag) there would be a lot of sellers pushing stuff that looked similar to this. That being around the normal custom knife makers from around the globe.
The etch on the Damascus is what catches my eye. It looks a bit shallow / not as precise as some others I’ve seen. Also the gap on the red accent piece on the scales speaks to the focus on fit and finish by the maker.
With that said if the edge works, and holds up decently well it’s still a knife, and a knife that holds up is a tool worth using.

Tend to agree with Taylor - looks Pakastani. While there is a lot of "custom" features, fit/finish is poor typical of the imports. The market was flooded with them for a good while back in the late 90's and early 00's, but folks tend to figure out things after awhile. (Or - could be product of a beginner that watches too much FIF and thinks that if you embellish a pig enough it'll sell for a 10 point buck.)
