Chinese. I bet it was originally a longer blade.

Do you think the blade had a different profile as well, or do you think it was the same shape but only longer?

It might be Japanese, and an example of a throwing dagger of the above name.

Hi David,

Thanks for that... I never would have considered Japan, but a little hunting returned plenty of examples a similarly-formed Japanese throwing knife: the Kunai.
