5" forged blade with a rectangular ricasso. Tang extends through an octagonal hilt of brass, aluminum, black horn, blonde horn, wood and 2 dark red spacers. Hilt is very heavy. Tang is peened over buttcap. Neat little knife. Any ideas about the area it might be from?
Thanks!

It could well be from South America, it is very similar in construction to the Similar to Canary Island knives of Spain but a bit more crude in it's manufacture. I will PM you a members details who can confirm this.
