It comes from a relatives estate.

Any info to get me started would be great!

May be my new razor since I had no idea in which topic this should go.

Gentle persons, is there a better forum or area that this topic might get some attention?

Could a mod move this to GD?

Maybe more "air time", ty.

What nationality was the relative?

Looks like some varietal of a Sgian Dubh, but maybe Nordic.

I don't know, but it is very interesting.

The utensils mount in the sheath? That spike may be an eating utensil,  which kind  of makes me think Nordic,  that sheath mounting as well

The pick is very ornate and reminds me of a black powder nipple pick. But I am no expert.

It's an african tribal dagger. The sheath is worn on the upper arm. Sudanese, IIRC.

I initially thought sgian-dubh as well, but I think the Sudanese dagger is most likely correct given the mounting. What I do find interesting is the similarity in the designs...

Looks cursed.  Probably used in a sacrifice of some kind.

I've been reverse image searching with parts and pieces of the images and you hit it right off.

The collective knowledge of the universe exists in GD, if you can filter out the nonsense.

Grip is distinctly different, but the sheath and utensils are certainly the same.

Yours looks to be more vintage and a user. Grip looks to be some kind of bone or possibly tusk

Well, @Fowty, I reckon it is so girthy and veined because it comes from the dark continent with all those connotations.

The grip is wood. And yes, it looks like it was a user

Yeah, that was an old Toyabe grade pull.  A poster once put up a photo of a  weird looking belt driven fan asking what it was. Toyabe without missing a beat said something like it was a Ford Model A auxiliary hot climate fan...and was correct.

You should seriously think about hitting it with some steel wool to make it shiny again.

I wouldn't use steel wool - maybe cerakote it?
