A good looking knife, congratulations ! I like it, the blade especially...
As already noted, the blade does look very much in profile like some of those cut-down sword blades to be found on 18th century or older Scottish Highland dirks. I have seen very similar in museums.
From the images, I would guess the staghorn hilt does not appear to have been on there for so long, but of course it may seem older when handling.
A great first acquisition...
