   ....a carving set consists of a knife ....and a fork and , although this knife is sharp its medial ridge is too thick and the blade profile totally unsuitable for carving.A skewer is almost always a pointed even shaft which does not flare out...it is designed to 'pin together' objects. I still think that this is a re-hilted spearhead (lance tip / pike tip ...thanks for the ....tip RS Sword   ) I thought it may be SEA ...but the staghorn hilt design seemed European. There is no doubt in my mind that this was designed as a stabbing weapon. The handle is incredibly ergonomic(underhand and overhand grips) when used in a stabbing motion. It also has excellent balance the POB is where the blade meets hilt....good for a 'fighting knife'.
