 I'd guess that Séverin's blade exhibits a nice balance. Its main function might well be ceremonial. To me it seems like quite a stretch though to argue for the same type of usage based on these unrelated and very different examples, I'm afraid.

 Well, if ceremonial, what purpose do you suppose Athanase golok may have been applied to? When i suggested they may have been applied to a similar purpose i meant that both may have been used to prepare ceremonial offerings. That's a specific as i went, not that they were used for that exact same purpose. And i wasn't "arguing" anything. I clearly wrote that "perhaps" they were both meant for preparing ritual offerings. Are you looking for argument here?
