Kurdish Khandjar(?)
 
6 Attachment(s)
Gents,

second new blade that came in.
Also very simple in design but robust.
Sheath is magnetic, made from sheet metal and soldered.
Maybe a slight hew of an ornament (dotted star) on the horn hilt?
Or just traces from a vice used during manfacturing?

Thanks for any comments,
taube.

Hello,

The dagger doesn't display many artistic features that may facilitate a more precise location. So in my oppinion, it may be Turkish, Kurdish or even Syrian. :shrug:

Best regards,

Marius

The blade looks quite old and I wouldn't be surprised if it is Persian wootz.
