Interesting piece. Can we call this a stiletto ?
With this type of blade (three faced?), the edges don't need to be sharp. It is sufficiently lethal when you thrust it.

Hi Karloj
Welcome to the forums.
This interesting piece looks like it may have been a sharpening 'steel' to me.

I've seen antique examples with round steels 'blades', facetted blades and blades of crosss section similar to yours.
Often they became worn over time and sometimes they get 'made over'

Does it have a hard temper?

Have a look here:

It's suprising how 'dagger like' some can be. Just a light reworking and hey presto!
