Ethnographic Kitchen Knives??

This piece comes from Bavaria, Southern Germany. It was made in 1400s (?) and is in a pretty nice shape. I almost think of sharpening it. I made a temporary hilt out of paper and some tape just to get feel of it. It is 22cm long (8.5 inches). I think it could be a nice kitchen or personal knife. What could be an original shape of the handle???[IMG]

What could be these maker`s marks?
