Default Your Omani Khanjar Hilt.

Look in The Omani Khanjar at Forum Library.
I think what you have there is a Cow Bone Handle . Its not Rhino nor is it Ivory and its not Giraffe ...Definitely not wood and certainly not plastic...or what the Omanis call Americky... To my eye its Cow bone. but as I say please check out The Omani Khanjar thread on Forum. Peter Hudson.
