Is the blade curved? Some Mongolian horse care knives look a bit like this.

Hi Gunar,

Yes, it's a Tibetian utilty knife, called "lothi" but by the wear I guess that it's older than mid. 20th century.
Search for Tibet or lothi here, you will find similar ones.

Regards,
Detlef

Nice one. Love the tibetan skull decoration. Look forward to seeing it cleaned up.
