The blade also looks like it was made from an old file.

My thought is that this is from the Sahel, possibly Mali or nearby. Hopefully someone with better knowledge of African daggers can better place the origin. Stu |

Tough to say, the hilt is usually a large part of IDing a region for daggers. So that makes it quite a bit harder! I agree it looks like it was made from a file.
