Knife/dagger id needed
 

I just bought this knife, with sheath and would like if any member can offer their opinion on it's origin. I have learned so much from this group, but this item has me stumped. The blade is pretty rough, with a fuller that appears to have been ground in. Lots of brass used. The wood handle is slightly aromatic, and could be cedar or sandalwood. There is brass decoration embedded into the wood handle. The green and red handle pieces look to be plastic. The sheath is nicely done, wood with a good leather cover. The knife fits well into the sheath. No markings. Thanks in advance for any comments!

Sheath Reminds me of mexican daggers...

The handle reminds me some touareg swords...

Yes west African there are quite a few here but some years since one has been shown.

I thought about it being African, but not being as familiar with the regions didn't know specific area. Thanks.

In my opinion it is a dagger from northern to western Africa, Sahel Zone, probably one of the numerous Tuareg tribes.
