Nice image grouping there Lew, I'd say this makes perfect sense looking at the extra images of native bulls.
Whilst my knowledge on these knives are limited I wonder if anyone can point out any direct historical association with these knives and worship of the bulls?
I'll have a look through my Asiatic mythos references to see what I can find, perhaps mention of ceremony or something along those lines.
