Hello,

You have a type of Persian khanjar. The carvings on the blade and handle resemble those on Qajar period examples, so 18th-19th centuries?
Inside the handle may be some old cuttler's cement/resin. If the stuff melts when heated then it's resin. It could be bone/ivory or even stone, but then it wouldn't be clad in metal.
It's a nice piece, congrats.

Regards,
Emanuel
