Left hand dagger

[AHorsa]

Dear All,

I recently got this dagger. It is a river finding and in corresponding condition. It is covered by a very thick patina/magnetite surface. I would very much appreciate your opinions about that piece.
Sorry for the weak images. I´ll reach in better ones at weekend.
