Looks like brass to me.
If it was alum. it wouldn't feel balanced.

Andy,
Indeed, the Shadow (Lamont Cranston) DOES Know. I do not. Looks home made. When?

Thanks guys.
I think that the grip is aluminum.
It was with a WWI collection, and I cannot find any markers marks on it.

To me it looks more Australian WW2, especially with the aluminum handle.
Wicked knife to be sure!
