Hey guys, I came across this knife recently. He says, "it has a real ivory handle and is possibly of middle-eastern origin."
Do you know what its worth?

Sorry, that's a decorative tourist kukhri with bone grip.

CWL is Correct.
Tourist Dhankhute with bone handle and brass furniture. Dragon on one side, symbols on the other.
Most likely made in India, but sold in shops and Bazaars all over the continent.
As it is meant as a wall hanger or mantlepiece display, it is probably not heat treated.
Worth maybe $20.
Maybe more to someone who doesnt know what they're looking at.
My nephew brought me back two of these for $10 when he was stationed in Afghanistan as Combat Med. The guy at the bazaar he bought from was asking $50. But in those Bazaars only suckers pay full price.
