It is here now and even if I say so myself, it is a super thing. Lucky lucky.

Bryan I do not think it is a lime spatula. Compared to what is most certainly a food knife, this is very much more like a dagger. Made of a harder wood. Could still just be a food knife? but you could just as easy stick it into somebodies guts or chest? especially if your victim wears nothing but a shell or similar to cover their private parts.
Referring to the afore mentioned book, in the section on knives, the author states that he has no record of knives used in combat. That is not to say the Islander never did use then. They used bamboo knives to cut heads off and to cut flesh. One other thing, is the knife could be from many Islands other than Vanuatu Islands.
