Left Hand Dagger?

Interesting piece. Whether it is a left hand dagger, the ring says yes. Is the blade tip 'bulky' all round, like in hand weapons made to perforate ... mail or armour ?
We know the primary purpose of the left hand dagger being that of parrying the adversary blows, it also serves as a stabbing weapon as a resource in a sword fight.
The guard rather atypical and so is the grip. I wonder whether some of our members are familiar with this dagger shape.
