Can't get any info on same. Do they have an specific name?

Hi "celtann"
are you sure that is an ethnic knife ?
for over 25 years I live "Egyptian", married with an Egyptian Lady, and we have residence in Egypt
I dunno what it's like a dagger "said" Egyptian
it's might be a dagger folk, or not belonging to "Egyptian world"
a pic should be welcome for identification
all the best
