I think the material is blowy at the top and become dark by handling. The material is maybe bone or deer horn.

Regards,

I think it could be a decorative utility knife used for things like making offerings from banana leaf, beetle nut, flowers, etc...or even for beetle nut chewing.

I agree with Detlef, that the handle material is either antler or bone.

*Lordkoos* I also agree with you that the top part indeed looks to be burned. These are some neat little knives - congrats and thanks for sharing!


All the best, - Thor
