this dagger is 68 cm long, blade width 5 cm and handle / grip made from horn.
It looks to me pre 1900 , perhaps Ottoman, but could well be also from elsewere
Your thoughts please...
thanks a lot!

Why not an attribution to northern India or Afghanistan?

A big Khyber knife. Here is another of similar size from Lew Waldman's collection: http://vikingsword.com/lew/w0133/w0133.html

I wouldn't know, hence my question.

Fair enough. I thought you knew something I didn't :D
Nice knife. I always wanted a big one of these.

Thank you, but my knowledge for this type of knives /daggers is very limited.
My area is the Balkans ( and a little on Dutch klewangs...)
