Bowie Knife?

No makers mark at all. Handle appears to my inexpert eye to be staghorn.
Incidentally, from tomorrow I will be away for 5 days, so unable to reply to questions.
Speaking of weird reactions to knives, prior to my retirement a few years ago, I was a Chartered Account in Public Practice, what Americans know as a CPA. I had some of my collection displayed in my office, and often showed off items to interested clients. On one occasion I showed a knife to a husband and wife, and while the man showed some interest, the wife was so upset at just seeing the knife that she ran from the room and threw up!! She didn't even touch it!
