Default Turkish Khanjar

Good Evening To All !

I have posted some pics of a recent acquisition, a Turkish Khanjar, the blade of which measures 10 inches in length. The dagger overall measures 16.5 inches. The hilt is made of aged walnut with 'mother-of-pearl' and brass inlay. The edge is not sharp and the sheath has a solid brass lion head at the base. I believe it to be of 20th century vintage, possibly meant more for ceremonial use instead of the tourist market. It exhibits much better workmanship than other Turkish tourist pieces from my collection. Does anyone have any idea of how this would typically be worn ? As always, any comments and help are most welcomed and appreciated ! Hope you enjoy the pics !
