Algerian dagger?

I am talking about the practical use of such a knife. Yes, judging by the photo, your palm fits into the handle, but the pommel will not allow manipulation of the knife.

When using any knife, the palm slides (moves) freely along the handle. In this case, the palm is rigidly fixed by the pommel. And when manipulating, the palm will inevitably shift to the pommel, which has sharp edges and will lead to injury.

That is why I had a question about these daggers (knives) - is this a souvenir?
