Knife from the Maldives

If it was bent in order to accomplish a task, say writing on leaves or openening shellfish ,I would think that it would make more sense to have a tool specially made for the purpose rather than having an ivory hilted side knife with a bent tip that would be difficult to sharpen.{purely my opinion}

This goes to show how little we know about some of these things and I definately think that some more research is in order.
