Knife with a wooden handle and sheath

[mvirta]

Does anyone have any idea of what this knife was used for? The handle and the sheath are quite nicely carved. The knife is at least 60 years old.

I have always thought that it was bought in Africa in the 50's, but as it looks quite similar to one in your picture, I guess you are right. Thanks for the answer.
