Interesting 'form' Tim,
......with such a top heavy design and the blunt curved edge suggests that, if a weapon, is more like a 'flattened' mace or more accurately a 'war hammer' (especially with that 'spike')
Like Fernando I had assumed the curved edge would be sharp, had it been so...I do not think this would be a very good 'bush knife'.....a machete or the many forms that exist... Bolo's etc are 'top heavy' but have a longer blade and would be easier to control when cutting vegetation.
