a very fine one - fit for a prince, by the looks of it!
The handle and the sheath are cast from a zinc(?) alloy and coated with a gold paint. This is demonstrated by the many worn high spots which show the paint worn off to reveal a gray metal beneath it. This is not the way a "real" knife is made, although the blade is steel and is sharp. This is probably a theatre prop or a tourist souvenir.
