Hello
For me, it is a capador knife. I don't know if camels or dromedaries get rid of... Affectionately |

the shape seems indeed very common in Europe ( all cardinal points ) too and with general purpose functions, not only castration it could certainly be used to skin animals.
So I think this may mean that there is parallel evolution and that there are only so many variations that can happen to a blade before it repeats itself somewhere else without any apparent connection. |

Does the engraving on the sheath offer any insights? The man appears to be doing something.

I enlarged and inverted the scabbard bit. Makes it easier to see the figure. Still have no idea what he is doing...
