LOL!
True...it's very difficult for a kneeling man with bound hands to jump out of the way!
I would presume that it's probably largely ceremonial or status oriented, although with many parts of the world it's not wise to consider these other uses all in the past either.
The apparent sharp edge along the back of the "hook" is what reminded me of a N'Gala sword and made me want to see up close, while yours being straight is even more curious....do you have a photo of it?
