1. It is part of a mans costume. The blade is symbolic. They are still used as part of dress today. I would not be disappointed, nice scabbard. It is from a living tradition, probably from nomads, for how long will there world continue. To me these are worth consideration as much as other non fighting weapon. It just happens that the handle on this one is not the most attractive to us, but I bet when it was made and in its original setting it was a bobby dazzler.
