Default African dagger

Hello everybody!

Today picked this dagger, I assume this is Sudan? Am I mistaken or not? Thanks!

i may be wrong, but think this is a "tourist" dagger. i got a very similar one from egypt.

i think its of sudanese manufactor aswell, it also a mimiking of persian daggers.

It's oviously a recently-made piece, but I'm more concerned about its' origin. So Sudan is the most likely opinion, thanks!

I saw plenty of daggers of this style for sale in the tourist souks in Tunisia & Morocco about 10 years ago
