Hi all!

I still like this dagger a great deal as I stated before in my thread on my 5-fingers dagger I have an odd attraction to tourist daggers.( This one's new home will be with my silver omani khanjar on thye mantle to impress guests who don't know any better!)

These daggers are mass produced touristically in Gaziantep city. If you re asking about real usage in past, I havent seen any real antique dagger with such MOP decoration. MOP over wood is used anywhere possible like daggers, pistols, boxes etc. in this style. But the existence of dragon head on the tip is still lovely and exceptional compared to many similar,giving the item some historical smell.
regards
