Description I am looking for any info on this knife. It has no marking that I know of except the pretty design on the sheath. It also has some dots on the handle. Eight dots around one dot. It is a really cool knife and I would be really interested in any info about it. I do not even know what it is for. The person who gave it to me thought it was for whaling or maybe fishing. I has either a bone or an ivory handle. The inside of the sheath has some kind of wood lining it. The sheath has a curve to it. I am not looking to sell just to find out about it. I wouldn't mind knowing what it is worth though. Thank for any info you can offer.
