A fancy utility knife (siraui) from Sumatra

I have to agree with Charles. Kind of takes this type of weapon out of the sphere of "utility" knife. Very nice addition to your collection!

Thank you Charles and David,

I have purchased it from a german auction house and there was only a small picture posted and I was positiv surprised when I received it.
The point of the blade isn't sharp, only the edge, so I still think that it is a utility knife.

But I am sure that it belongs once to a person of wealth/rank.

Regards,

Detlef
