Jose,
Can't tell. Berkley may be right. Don't think it is worm holes because I don't see any more on the scabbard, except there are some more holes in the back in about the same place as though a band of some kind was wrapped around it and nailed in place.

What sort of weight is it Bill ? & how far is the balance point in front of bolster? just trying to get the mental feel of it.
without straps, I am wondering what holds the 3 pieces of wood together? pinned at edges or native type glue perhaps?

"Buffalo Bill?" Hmm
The balance point is far forward. Certainly blade heavy when held. I would think that would give it great follow through for a powerful cut.
I think it would do the job on a buff if you hold him by the snout.
(See picture).
