Too kind Stu, I'm not sure. I'm with Jose, it would be interesting to see some more pictures in better light. There are so many different beautiful hardwoods in SEA. Maybe a type of Ebony? The handle has a nice dark patina. Jose is right, it could also be horn...which also shows a grain.
Great piece though Atlantia, I like the blade with the false edge. Thanks for sharing!
