Yes, I think I see where you're coming from Kronckew:- item of dress, not to actually terminate any animal, but rather as a part of what a lord might wear whilst hunting.

This is a new idea to me. It is not something that fits into the context of Javanese/Balinese lords hunting behaviour, and apart from my own society, these are only ones I know in any depth.

I think what I'm being told here is that European lords would ride out to go a-hunting, but they actually would do not much more than point a firearm and pull the trigger, the underlings would do the wet work.

Interesting concept.

Maybe a dagger like this was used to encourage the faithful retainers to be faithful.
