Hello,

I think it is possible, that we see an old Bowie-Knife style blade. If so, it comes probably from a very small manufactory or a special order or selfmade.

I personally think it was self made by the user or exactly after his wishes.

The shape of the blade reminds me in a Bowieknife, the crossguard looks like European or American style, the shape of the hilt also.

The integrated crossguard excludes an Asian production (imho).

So if you are from the United States, we probably have a kind of very heavy Bowieknife here (woodchopper knife), similar to this one, which I found on pinterest.
