Default North African Dagger

I bought this dagger because it was affordable and because I thought it was traditional and interesting. The blade is 11 cm long from the sharp shoulder to the tip, and 12 cm from the sharp shoulder rearwards. It has a rat-tail tang, riveted at the very top. I feel pretty confident the handle material is horn and bone.

I have no information on it, and can only throw a guess into the air and hope it is not too wild. I'm thinking North Africa, Arab or Berber. Please set me straight!

Regards
Johan
