I do not think this is an ethnographic dagger. It looks more like a "trench" knife with a blade made of sheet steel.

I also don't think it's ethnographic, the blade maybe but the hilt looks very recent home made!?

Thank you both! That makes sense now why I could not find anything else that looks like it.

Maybe it's one of the "great" restorations you can see on YouTube!

the blade appears to be asymmetrical along the edge like some Congo knives, when you flip it over looks the same again? crossection like drawn in black? maybe a somewhat older blade rehilted recently.
Kind regards, Eric. |

Look to #3, I also think that it's an African blade. Regards, Detlef |
