I have just picked this from ebay. I know we do not talk money here but this was less than the basic UK currency unit. The thing is that the description was less than useless so too is the picture. The only real information is that there is some "hand carved decoration around the handle" I have taken a chance on it as a knife from Vanuatu and all islands in the vicinity. It is approx 12" long. the form and length on a superficial check with published material is not out of the ordinary, as far as the pictures show. So until it arrives? These were not used just for food, if it is one?
