[qochoc]

What is this made out of and how old might it be?

I think the handle is horn or bone. Here's some material samples for comparison:

Here's a very similar one, which is not antique, with a horn handle and an ebony shaft, value $125:

Yours could be older though, it looks much more worn on the handle. It might be quite hard to date if there is no indication of the manufacturer or some other signs of age.
