Hi All, Here's a dagger I picked up recently and I have no idea where it was born but I suspect North Africa or Middle East.
It's very well made and the handle seems to be made of blackened brass with bone or ivory spacers and decorated spacers of some other material.
It's 10.5 inches overall with a 5.75 inch blade. No Sheath came with it.
Has Anybody seen a knife like this before ?

Thanks to All,
Warren in Arizona
