5" forged blade with a rectangular ricasso. Tang extends through an octagonal hilt of brass, aluminum, black horn, blonde horn, wood and 2 dark red spacers. Hilt is very heavy. Tang is peened over buttcap. Neat little knife. Any ideas about the area it might be from?
Thanks! Steve ![]() ![]() |

It could well be from South America, it is very similar in construction to the Similar to Canary Island knives of Spain but a bit more crude in it's manufacture. I will PM you a members details who can confirm this.
