kino's example on post#7 appears to have rivets (albeit his has 4 of them going down. yours might have just two ). the profile of the blade appears to be similar to mine in which it has a slight overall curve, and if you notice, a single groove on the lower edge. 
the handle on that is oriented the wrong way, btw...
 
adding kino's example as well.

Ah! 
Excellent catch Spunjer, 
That explains the 'outline' that I can see. Bravo
