Interesting rounded tip kindjal

Very nice scabbard.

ok,we suppose it had been a longer kindjal,with normal tip, and was broken/repaired. It goes without any significant narrowing till the end. so, if it was once narrowing and becoming a point, even if after just the current end of the blade,perhaps 10 cms more?, it means a very long kindjal with a narrow and fragile blade having unscaled proportion compared to its length. Not?

in fact, I plan to market it, with the presentation of once being the tool of the royal "doner kebab" cook of the Ottoman palace kitchen

To my eyes I do not think there has been any alteration to the blade. The finishing of the fullers seems too controlled. But I know very little of these things.
