I got this knife many years ago. I was friends with a family who had a kind-hearted daughter with a sweet spirit. She was about 15 years old. They knew I collected knives. They went on a vacation somewhere and the girl saw this knife and just had to get it for me. I don't know where she bought it. She's now grown and has two children of her own.
I kept the knife displayed in a curio cabinet at one time, thinking it was just a weird-looking showpiece. Later I realized it could be something right out of a Lovecraftian adventure, so now it's on a shelf with other mythos-related items. I get the distinct sense that it could be some island-themed weapon, though I'm not sure. I was thinking Polynesian, but I can't find anything from that culture that looks like this. So, I don't know what it is. The blade is flimsy, but after all these years, it's still surprisingly sharp. I could probably put an edge on it if I wanted to (I don't).
