Perhaps, but I don't see why? Everything looks traditional

Just conjecture--miniature versions are easier and take less precious materials to make, and are easier to take away as souveniers.

I know that many of these pieces have recycled machete blades. This one looks genuine. Maybe the knife was made from a broken good quality blade and rehandled?
