Strange little knife.

I have to agree Freddy, a re-mounted spearhead, unfortunately the shape is universal, almost certainly from a throwing spear , I think alittle heavy for an arrow head. Perhaps an etch of the head may enlighten you as to its origins. I have a 'feeling' that its (the spearhead) Indian / SEA

For a 'Bitsa' it does have some 'charm'. Is the 'handle' and 'crossguard' one-piece ? Can't help thinking the handle is from a 'beer' pump....but that maybe because I'm alittle thirsty

Interesting item

Regards David
