      Well it's not supposed to be used for fighting, since it has a wavy blade. It's most likely a ceremonial blade - a "Kris", from East Asia. I can't tell its age, could be old or new. The material and condition makes me think it's pretty recent though, and the crudeness of the figurine makes me think that it's a souvenir.

      Still, it's a pretty cool knife-thingy. Where and when did you get it? What metal is it?

      Hi Dhakir, thanks for the info. Yes, a Kris, that is right. I bought it from an antique deal who went out of business. An older guy. It looks like it is made of brass.

      purchased in Red Bank, NJ at an antique store.

      Looks like a modern made piece.

      I think so too scott but wasn't sure. It ended up being a buck or two, so I figured I would give it a shot. thanks!
