Default Moro (?) knife

I was just recently gifted this lovely little knife (thanks again Rick ) and would like to find out more about it , If you scroll down to plate 13 in Krieger's catalog you will see the same knife described as a Moro women's knife.

I think Rick has a sheathed one of these and maybe we can get him to post it.
Anyway, nice layered construction, beautiful wood. The edge is on the outside of the curve leading me to believe it may have specific purpose as a tool. Hoping to find out more about the origins and possibly the name or names that apply.
