I had always thought of these as ceremonial, but a while ago I saw a similar one to the that posted. Slightly longer with a 'sickle-like' curve. The blade was heavy, fully sharpened and very business like. It was a single edged on the inside of the curve ....I wondered whether it could be used to 'hamstring' charging horses or had some other 'specialised' use
Kind Regards David
