A good looking knife, congratulations ! I like it, the blade especially...

As already noted, the blade does look very much in profile like some of those cut-down sword blades to be found on 18th century or older Scottish Highland dirks. I have seen very similar in museums.

From the images, I would guess the staghorn hilt does not appear to have been on there for so long, but of course it may seem older when handling.

A great first acquisition...
