Identification please
Hello,
bought this at auction, mainly due to the markings on the blade. Was hoping someone would have an idea about origin, date etc thanks |

Hello,
Looks like a Thai/Hmong e-nep knife with a Nepalese flavour. Funny how similar the handle decorations are to those on Algerian Bou-Saada knives. Emanuel |

Agree: Thai. Late 20th c.
What is the handle material? Horn? Stone? |
