Hello,
bought this at auction, mainly due to the markings on the blade. Was hoping someone would have an idea about origin, date etc
thanks

Hello,

Looks like a Thai/Hmong e-nep knife with a Nepalese flavour. Funny how similar the handle decorations are to those on Algerian Bou-Saada knives.

Agree: Thai. Late 20th c.

What is the handle material? Horn? Stone?
