Greetings Chregu,
I am impressed with the elegance of your dagger. The photo seems to suggest that the steel blade is one with the apparently cast iron hilt. The joining of the two pieces is very well done. I am always amazed that early smiths could produce items seemingly impossible to accomplish without a drop forge. It often requires a good dose of "engineering empathy" to try to figure out, "how did they do that?". Other examples of this style shown on the net are easier to solve.
Thanks for sharing
Ed
