Hi guys, I know this maker until today is unknown.
However I like this dagger.

I have a question: what kind of wood was used for the handle? Ebony?

Thanks!

they did use ebony, but also used other wood's and dyed them black.

To me, appears to havd been lightly sharpened and scabbard painted black.

A nice dagger!

@Patrick,

ebony shows different color tints.
