Bone Handled Dagger HELP !!

This is not a Cretan knife. Defently.

I cannot say where it comes from but looks close but not exact to Bosnian knife IMHO.

Thanks, came with a Yataghan probably of Balkan origin so that would make some sense.
Regards,
Norman.

I believe this example was identified as Bosnian .
All those fullers remind me a bit of Turkish work .

The fullering is characteristic for daggers from the town of Surmene in the Trabzon region in Turkey. If you search for Surmene in the forum, I am sure you will find a few threads with examples.
