It has bamboo on the handle and bronze.

Thanks for all your help!

No one know anything about this dagger?

I bought it today at an antiques auction, they said its Oriental, and bamboo around the grip/handle.

No markings I can see.
 
That sheath and grip are pretty common throughout all of SE Asia, Southern China and even as far as Tibet. The quality of the blade looks like it is a tourist/wall-hanger. The wrap is probably rattan and not bamboo strips.
