I do not know where it is from, but I like it! What are its dimensions?

Very nice hunting dagger!
 Could be Corsican but I am unsure. Regards, Detlef |

Interesting dagger, and likely in the 'Meditteranean' spectrum, resembling these types of 'dirks' which seem to usually have upper halt in line with blade back, but Sardinian examples seem to have center haft (that I have seen). With all the variation in these kinds of knives of 18th into 19th c. it would be hard to place specifically.
Corsican is a well placed guess as it is the French island just north of the Sardinian island, both off Italy's coast. It is notable that Meditteranean knives were the forerunners of the famed 'Bowie' in degree which remains unclear definitively. Very nice example,! |
