Thank you all for your input! One thing I neglected to mention is that the blade is of a fairly light weight, so I don't believe that using it to cut pole arm hafts would be realistic. I think this is strictly for hand to hand use, or for some other as yet unknown method.
The back of the blade is pierced with a small hole possibly for a streamer or ribbon, I would think.
So, possibly a WuShu weapon, but one not limited to just exercise, but combat?
Just my updated thoughts!
