Personally i like art projects, which is why i've done similar things myself. This object has a nice look about it, just not an authentic one.

I agree, newly made 'Tourista" piece, or art project. Pretty neat though. Probably a machine ground blade. I bought a bone handled axe, with iron head years ago off ebay. Seller said he bought it in a gift shop, in the Bahamas, while on his honeymoon. It too, was heavily patinated.

Thank you gents, I got this one as a present and didn't know what it was. I like it as a piece of art then and keep it.
