Yes, there are similarities to the Spanish punals, for me a sign from where they spring from. But looking at the handle, the foot of the scabbard and the scabbard clip I am very positive that it is indeed a Brazil knife. The feature of the brass covered or brass inlaid ricasso is also seen by the Brazil faca de pontas, see attached picture. Best regards, Detlef |
