These daggers are mass produced touristically in Gaziantep city. If you re asking about real usage in past, I havent seen any real antique dagger with such MOP decoration. MOP over wood is used anywhere possible like daggers, pistols, boxes etc. in this style. But the existence of dragon head on the tip is still lovely and exceptional compared to many similar,giving the item some historical smell.
