Steel blade, horn (baybe rhino, but not sure), silver fitings.
What kind of dagger is it if someon knows?

[Tim Simmons]

These in many sizes and shape of the same form are from Somalia and regions. There are some people here that can tell you more.

Hello Serdar,

Tim is correct, it's a Somali billao dagger. A very nice example, it will look great with a little bit of TLC. The horn isn't rhino, it's some sort of black horn, most probably goat. It's a nice antique example with silver pommel.

Regards,
Detlef
