African?
Came upon this. It has what looks like an oryx horn handle and a long slender blade with a bamboo sheath. Comments?

Don't look african to my eyes. Wild guess since I know nothing about it, could it be a rehilted japanese yari (speer point)?

Looks modern, looks Indonesian archipelago (SE Asian, anyway). Made as is. Doesn't look like any kind of converted spearhead, yari or other.
