Can anyone identify this Jambiya

The trilobate pommel looks very Indian to me.
We see similar ones on the so-called "tiger tooth" daggers, old and new.

I thought so as well. And it looks like ivory too? quite a rich material.

If it is ivory and of modern manufacture then there could be serious trouble ahead. I suspect, and hope, it is bone.

Thank you al for your comments I am pretty convinced it is fairly modern, made in india. The hilt is bone.
