Khanjar hilted knife'': ID wanted...:)

[francantolin]

Hello dear members,
I'd like your advice about this knife
Seems just a recent fancy item: an assembled khanjar hilt on a european knife blade shape and ferule.

Recent, fancy but well made ( horn hilt and I'll show more)

Any idea where it comes from ??

Kind regards

I like it very much: reminds me of art deco style.
The grip and ferrule are very nice, but (personal taste) it deserves a better blade; slightly wider and a little longer with a sleeker / tighter shape following the symmetric form of the grip and ferrule.

Hello,
Thank you for your message,
I totally agree with you, something of a ''french- north european'' art déco knife mixed with a turkish-kurdish style hilt or some kindjal like hilt.

For me it is european made with orientaiist influence
but, it is made like a knife but large as a khanjar dagger: 44cm/17,3 inches long and the blade seems laminated,
I'll try to etch it a little....
Maybe a rehilted blade ?
I agree again, it is nice but something strange and not well balanced between the blade length and shape and the hilt...

And the blade

To me, it has a hint of tableware about it. Either a carving knife made in an orientalist style, or even a Turkish\Ottoman kindjal refitted with a cutlery blade to make a 'conversation' piece?
Best wishes
