Hi Christoph,
M. Zirngibl in his Afrikanische Waffen writes this execution knife became a symbol of power - and became a "ceremonial knife for tribal chiefs". - So I would understand something like sceptre/truncheon. But I would say (personal view) your nice "heavy duty" piece is (at least also usable as) real execution weapon.
Regards,
Martin
