I don't know what to say, Rick; only that, although this is an 'unexpected' suggestion, i can not reject it, as plausible; the throw is right, as is the weight.
Meanwhile i decided to give it a soft...

Thank you Gavin. Throwing knives can be rather long, specially those 'no spin' ones used in circus.
Still i doubt this is the case, as its point is not symmetrical, wile (human) target throwing...

Indeed Jim. You take the Portuguese example, in that we call the 'generic' machete a 'CATANA'. Reason why ?

The term Catana was incorporated into the Portuguese language in the 16th century, after...

I see what you mean Ken ... after browsing on eating trousses. It is just that my piece is smaller than all seen out there ... so far.

Thank you Ken. The scabbard material has some texture but it looks to me like some kind of paper ...or cardboard, so to say.
Well, you could say that its size is just about right ... for dessert ;).

Thank you for your input, Jim. My asking if this thing is a machete was more to define whether its form fitted in the tradionally machete known way and not the ethimology of the term; which, not...

Anyone knows what this is ... please ?

I assume this is no weapon, nor a toy either; rather 'rafinée' for a toy.
The handle in mother of pearl, the blade and grip spine finely engraved ... and even a double mark on the blade.
Let me not...

Breastplate with marks for ID and dating.

A friend of mine doesn't have an idea what the marks on this breastplate are about ... nor its age.
Could you Glentlemen give us a little help?

Would you call this a small Machete ... or not ?

What do you Gentlemen make of this ? Would there be a name of it ?
