Half way to a stiletto, may i say ...
Acquired in Portugal, traced as from a mannor house. A friar once lived there; could he have brought from distant places ?
... Or is it actually Portuguese ?
The blade with an atypical cross section; flat in the 'bottom' face, plain in one half ridged face and concave on the other half.
The sccabard, i am not sure if it was born for it.
Total length 28 cms. Weight 375 grams.
Whay do you guys make of this piece ?
Thnks in advance.
