An interesting piece, as Ed has alluded to this is very much a collection if differing elements.

The hilt style is found on daggers in areas like Dongola and Kordafan. The silver is a reused bracelet, it looks very similar to Rashaida work.

The blade is likely locally made, although better photos would greatly aid in determining this.

Overall this strikes me as a piece that was rehilted relatively recently.
