Greek? Knife ID help needed
 

One more from my storage of Katrina flooded things was retrieved today and conserved. The grip is bone I payed with red and blue plugs of an unknown material. It's pretty well made and about 9 1/2" long overall, with a 4 1/4" blade.

My gut tells me it's Eastern Mediterranean Greek or Turkish, but I'm not locked into this attribution.

I would guess it's age is second quarter, 20th century, by the plugs that are either some sort of pigment or plastic. (I'm not going to do a hot needle test here!)

Any ideas?

Prematurely pulled the trigger on this one!

Hi STT,

Lebanese: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2249

A number of them will come up on the forum if you search for Lebanese daggers.

Cheers,

I agree - this is from Lebanon region.

This seems right. I knew it was from the Easterm Medeterranean somewhere. It just had that look!

Thanks for your help.
