Great dagger Lew. I also think, like Tim, that the age could be around 1930.

I agree 1930s maybe mid 1920s the earliest. The patina on the wood matches a large knobkerrie that was dated 1920s it is of the same type of wood as the dagger. Lew |

It's either ironwood or African blackwood either way it's very dense and hard and takes a nice finish. Lew |
