Thank you for the message!
I received my package,
so the blade is a little shorter than indicated: 31 cm long and 8 mm thick for a total weight of 1 kg. interesting the tang of the knife on the handle that goes all the way through the handle. I therefore opt more for a large cutlass knife than for a polearm. not a machete either given the weight of the object. some sort of cleaver or hunting dagger if I'm lucky Fairly old blade roughly reused: the guard is perhaps more recent and may have been mounted upside down. (see traces) the scabbard although it fits well has little to do with the length of the blade and the handle is quite rudimentary and seems newer too. I'm going to try to take it all apart a little...
