			Why do you think it's a spear blade?  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I am interested in what appear to be bevels at the shoulders of the blade, where it narrows to the tang (or tongue; the part in the handle); it looks like there are sharpened bevels facing toward the handle, that would cut(?) any stray fibres or skin that gets caught in that joint?.....  |
