Indo persian ? Arabic curved 'working' knife

As you say maybe, maybe not.

I find more evidence is generaly worth having , particularily the differance between one poor side veiw photo & handling something.

But sure not evry piece gives up its answears, to our questians..

I agree guessing at its use doesnt help provide any further evidence.

I still guess theres a good chance its an agricutural blade jammed in a weapon handle.

But I could be so very wrong!

This was my original feeling.....its the handle that seems mis-placed. I agree that it seems likely, the design (handle) would suit a weapon. However the blade suggests a utilitarian use......very confusing. I bid on this knife...because of this 'strange' situation....I did not 'win' it...so unfortunately I will not be able to describe it in any more detail (handling, construction etc)
The rounded point could have been 'ground' if the original sharp point had been broken. But surely you would re-point it... not 'blunt' it .

Seems that this will have to go in the 'Unknown' catergory........

Thankyou for everyone's input
