Strange Knife,Whalers?Pirates?or Who?

[youngpup]

Almost the right shape for a kukri knife but it looks more like a knife they used to use to cut grains, wheat, and tobacco with.

Hi c.m.a.

That is the closest match to the knife I have seen. Dimensions are almost identical as well. Even has carved wooden handle even if that one is a little more fancy. Course it would have travellled nearly halfway around the world to get to where I found it. Thanks to all who have been checking around for info on this knife.

Hey Cliff, I think Chris may be on to something but that still doesn't tell how it got to New England.
