Unusual old knife
This one seems to have some age. Not sure where it is from. Somebody paid more than $400 for it today.

Hello,
I was watching this item, too, but refused to bid. To me it looks like an old Mediterranean dagger, possibly an Italian hunting dagger. As far as I know daggers like these are known as Genuese daggers and were made from the 17th to the 19th century. Maybe someone can tell us more about these.
