Does anyone know what this is and its use?
There are symbols at the top that looks Arabic, maybe? There are wire shaped into butterflies on the stem. There’s a hole at the end of the knife handle connected to a small pipe that fits into the wooden hole of the sheath. I believe the hole terminates as a nipple at the top. Thanks in advance. |

Birmese or Laotian maybe? The metalwork and round grip and scabbard mouth reminds me of some dha.

Is this some South American " Bombilla" filter to drink Yerba Mate tea where someone has put a knife into?

Not gonna lie; little proud of myself for calling Laos (or SE Asia) before I found that.
