Greek (?) Knife for ID and Comments

I JUST RAN ACROSS THIS WHILE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE AND AS IT HAD NO REPLYS DECIDED TO MAKE A COMMENT. IT IS AN INTERESTING KNIFE BUT RAISES MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS FOR ME.
1. DO YOU MEAN THE BLADE IS MADE OF SOME SORT OF POT METAL AND NOT FOR ACTUAL USE? "BLADE IS MADE OF SHAM"
2. IS THE HANDLE MADE FROM SOME RESIN OR MAN MADE SUBSTANCE AS WELL OR IS IT ANTLER, IVORY OR A NATURAL MATERIAL.?
3. WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE KNIFE?
WHEN A KNIFE IS NOT MADE FOR USE IT IS USUALLY MADE FOR THEATRICAL USE, DRESS ONLY OR AS A SOUVINEER/ WALL HANGER OR LETTER OPENER. NOT A ETHINOGRAPHIC WEAPON BUT PERHAPS AN ETHINOGRAPHIC SOUVINEER.

WELL THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH I KNOW ABOUT WOOTZ

THE ODD LOOK TO THE BLADE EDGES WHERE IT WAS CHIPPED AND BLACK AND THE WORD SHAM MADE ME REASON IF ITS A POOR QUALITY BLADE THEN IT IS LIKELY ALL FITTINGS WOULD BE CORESPONDINGLY POOR AND IT WOULD SERVE SOME OTHER PURPOSE THAN A WEAPON OR EVEN A KNIFE. I AM GLAD TO FIND OUT OTHERWISE.
