Knife help please

Here's a knife I run across in some of my Grandfathers belongings. I really know nothing about this one. Maybe a throwing knife?

Sorry for the bad pic quality...dadgum cell phone pics. :P

Yes thats it. Thank you Lucas and diggummup. I always wondered what was missing from the handle. It seems it was probably bone. Cool and great ID guys.
