I bought a knife identicle to this back around 1970. It was more for its ornamental qualities than as a knife. Handle was black with silvery metal, had a black hard leather scabbard with the tip in silvery metal.
Also had two smaller knives / throwing "darts" about 3" long with hard black leather handles stored in upper portion of scabbard. It was not an expensive set. I may have paid abot $10.00 for it back then. I still have it somewhere unless my brother took it.(He was always pilfering my stuff when I let him live in my home for awhile).
