Hi
I would like to have some information about this blade. Could any of you give me some idea as to possible age, origin,Africa?? Asia??

Could it be ivory?

I would appreciate any comments or information you may have.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Brazil is my guess. Faca da ponta is what they call it.
