Hello Jeez,
Your dagger is from Africa, south western sahara. The northen desert regions of the countries that were established from the West African trade coast. They can be daggers like yours or short swords to ones made from full european sabre blades. These were and may still be used as a dress item as well as ones which are obviously intended as a weapon.
