Kurdish Dagger

Hi,
The blades on these seem to conform to a generic shape albeit they can differ quite substantially in size, same with the scabbards. The hilts can differ a little, one I have has a pale horn hilt. Age may be a bit problematic as the design appears to have altered little over time.
Regards,
Norman.

Here is my Kurdish Khanjar. Handle and the point of the scabbard are made of horn, I would say buffalo horn.
