Small "Blingy" Knife, But From Where and What Was its Purpose???

[Aleksey G.]

on another note, a similar piece has been posted here back in 2009 on this thread. See pic and link included. Blade point is different and pommel is slightly different, but maybe wear or break on the blade and sheath adopted later.
Origin theory in that thread negates my panabas guess lol. Hope this helps.
