Default SE Asia Knife #3

This one is just under 8" / 20 cm. Carved bone handle with elephant motif & brass or bronze bolster. No writing or decoration on the blade, which is an unusual shape, does anyone know if this type of knife had a specific purpose as a tool? The blade is fairly sharp. Like some of the others, the tip of the handle looks to have been put in a fire and blackened, perhaps some type of ceremony -- the large knife I posted first also showed evidence of this.
