Hi Fernando

Looking at this interesting knife it does not look like it was designed for a quick draw from the scabbard as there is only a small amount protruding from the scabbard.

if this is the case then it is not a weapon so what is it for, pruning knives tend to have a curve eating knives generally come with other implement.

How about a fruit knife for peeling fruit, these tend to be dainty enough and the size would be about right?

Regards,

Ken

Not to my eyes, Ken. Blade would be o.k. but not the handle. Peeling fruit requires some strengtgh; a task for the whole hand.
