I agree with Spiral, the center section of the grip is bone.
This dagger could have been made in the first quarter of the 20th century, possibly reusing an older blade. It has seen a lot of use over an extended period; the belt loop was added at some point, or the scabbard was entirely replaced. In either case, it was likely done between the second and third quarter of the 20th century. It is also possible, even likely, that the dagger simply dates around the WWII era.
