Hard to cook and eat without knives, I've found. Meat is particularly challenging to deal with in the absence of tools.

Not every knife is a weapon even if they can be used as such. In fact, most knives have been used as cutting tools throughout time. Canario knives were not considered weapons even if at times they could have been used as such. That is why I said "weapons such as swords and daggers" which are clearly primarily intended to be used as weapon even if at times they could potentially be used as tools. See the difference?
It is kinda concerning that when I wrote "weapons were banned" people assumed "every blade was banned". Are you from the UK? lol
What is pictured above in the OP,
in my opinion, is clearly intended as a weapon and has nothing to do with the Canary Islands. I mean compare the craftmanship with that of actual Canario Knives. The craftmanship of this dagger is quite poor. And actually now that I think about it what is pictured above is not even called "dagger"(daga) in Spanish. Small stabbing implements like that are PUŅAL.
