While this blade seems highly indicative of a dagger, as Fernando notes, there are hunting knives with central ridge (mostly I think with various stag horn etc. hilts) and I would think that curious aperture is likely more for a rivet or hilt securing than any practical purpose.
The patination does indeed suggest age which could certainly be 19th c. |
