Curious massive knife or machete
I wanted to show you to this large, somewhat special machete knife, extremely massive, almost 1 cm thick at the heel and weight of more than a kilo.
The end of the blade looks like a Bowie and is really sharp the handle looks more like a halberd with a shortened shaft. A litle Chinese Pu Dao style ??. the sheath has an original and interesting shape, A whaler flensing knife ? A colonial asian or african Riflemen machete ? Just a butcher / knacker heavy knife ? So, will you have an idea of the origin? I will receive this soon |

I couldn't help but notice that the front of the guard is shortened which would help with camp tasks. I have no idea what this started life as. The fish tail sheath with a wood screw and rigged for a horizontal carry would seem to be a clue to origin
