Hi Dave,
That's a great little dagger - thanks for posting! I'm sure somebody will be along with more information, but in the meantime I can tell you that the hilt scales are for certain carved from buffalo/cow horn.
Do you know if these knives were used for actual fighting or are they simply carried for display. If for fighting, how would it be held in hand when used - tip up or tip down?
- thanks for sharing it!
Best wishes, - Thor
