The handle looks like bone , the sharp edge is on the inner curve . Has no markings . Any ideas ?

Similar to its very large cousin a cane knife. It was probably used to prune or cut vegetation.

No ideal what it is for, but I sure would hang on to it.

It reminds me of a antique castration knife I saw in a farming museum.
