Is it a katar dagger ?

[Richard G]

Robert has more eloquently expressed the point I was trying to make earlier. The obvious possibility of this twisting in the hand when being thrust forward suggests to me it was meant to be placed in position and then pushed, rather than trying to stab a moving target.
This is why, in my opinion, i think it is more likely to be a tool than a weapon.

Hello,
the snake biting its tail,
let's begin again
If it's not a weapon, as someone an idea about what it could be use for ?
I don't think they made it with his heavy diamond blade just for plant seeds or cut ropes / kill a mouse in the soil...

Let's face it. Robert's suggestion for a dibble is a rather strong argument .
