You can see my thinking here. The construction is fairly universal. the similarity may well be just that.

You can see that that the item in question has two rivets {the first rivet in the steel above the copper is clearly visible on the over side} like the Asian knife. The item in question also has a rivet through the copper part at the handle end.

The African stylistic similarities,

I could add more pictures if needed but I think you can get the idea? I need input on this. Thanks. Could it be seek and ye shall find?
