			I don't remember seeing anything like this posted before so I thought I'd post this piece for comments. Bone blade is 5-3/4 inches long and 1 inch wide at its widest point. Hilt is 5-1/2 inches long and is 1-1/2 inches in diameter and covered with a knotted netting (I'm not sure what the netting is made from). Underneath the netting is what looks like bundled reeds. There is a woven loop on the end of the hilt for either hanging or maybe to go around your wrist to help keep you from losing it if dropped. I have absolutely no idea of who or where this was made. It does seem to have some good age to. As usual all comments are welcome.
