Thanks! I vote for Faca de Ponta as well, but like you said, the pierced blades not typical for Brazilian knifes. So, there is a chance that it was made in Europe for Brazilian market.

Yes, when you read older threads there was always a discussion South America versus Mediterraean orgin by very old knives. Naturally!
There is also the chance that it is Brazilian dagger from an other region.
We have members who will be able to tell more, hope they join in.

Could it be a Spanish blade that has been rehandled in Brazil,etc?
The blade is just like an early-mid 19th C Spanish punal I use to have.
Just a thought.
