Found out a little more information. The spike on the end was used as an additional handhold for two handed slash-chops.

I was wondering about this because as a one-handed sword it is unwieldy. But as a two-handed sword it really moves well.

It may not be of any help, but I can say the museams & collections I saw in Nepal exhibited no similar designs, whatsover.
