Help identifying a dagger

I bought an old dagger knife. The handle made from horn and i don't know what type of horn
Please can anyone help me
Thanks again.

 

more of a fixed blade knife , than dagger.
nice steel
good ferrule and butt plate
thru tang construction
drop point with double fuller
nice horn handle....

I can't say what horn was used...or what the design could be on the blade..

Maybe European....Asian...Indian......?????

 

I think it's a chinese knife and 100% certain the handle made from rhino horn.

 

Yesterday you didn't know what kind of horn. Today, you're suddenly 100% sure its rhino horn...care to enlighten us how you came to that level of surety?

 

I

I asked some friends about kind of horn. They said maybe it's a rhino horn. I did some tests and got some advices from net to determine real rhino horn.
That's why i was not able to determine it yesterday.
I am still waiting for some helps to confirm my findings

 

While I'll agree that it does honey color , the size and shape of the handle doesn't seen to jive with rhino horn.
And then there is the fact that rhino horn in China is so valued for it's medical properties and costs " Based on the Asian black market value, rhino horn is estimated to be worth US$65,000 per kg." , to find that used on an average looking bench made knife ...is ...well...... unheard of...!
