Chinese River Pirate's Knife?

Thanks to all for your comments.As Jim noted the guard certainly has that "butterfly knife look," however the scabbard fits only one weapon and it will not accommodate a second one.It may have been made from a reshaped sword, however it would have been massive as the largest width of the blade is 1.5" and 5/16" thick at the base of the spine.
Sajen, you nailed it again, plus as I was exploring the site you provided, I found out that I have a "Rare Santali Shield," lol.

Hi David,

It's always good to search on Peter's site as on other dealers' sites (also when dealers could be wrong also) to learn about cold weapons!

Regards,
Detlef
