here some pics of the handle, 
 
Before receiving it, I thought the side bars had been shortened but I don't think so  
 
If it was an old on handle katar dagger , it could have a wood or bone grip like this one I found on internet, 
said to be from the 17th century. 
 
What do you think ? -Kind Regards
