Hi folks,
Picked this lil' guy up at an estate auction today and nobody really knew what the heck it was, except for some sort of knife. I'm far from an expert, but this thing looks very, very old and is quite heavy for the size. From a certain angle of light, the blade will show a goldish colored shine between the patina. What kind of metal would this have been made from. I've done a few searches online but am coming up short, and since this site has the most knowledgable people, I figured I'd better post this and see what comes up. Would also like to find out what part of the world this came from if possible. All and any help is appreciated, thanks.
