When you look closely at the lamination, does it have a "Tibetan" feel to it even if it is not hairpin?
I am at a total loss with this one Josh, it could just as well be a "higher" end iron spatula that one had a large ring to the pommel end...one thing is for certain though, it is very well forged and very devastating in the the wrong hands.
