So What is This?

Yep,

I have a cow (?) horn jambiya (touristy, and is a gift from Yemen by my Uncle's wife family) the colour of the cow horn is very close to this one but the structure is different. This is perhaps why someone would fit such crude mounts on what seems to be rhino hilt?? One of the differences between the touristy gift hilt and rhino one is that its untranslucent.
