Hi,

Can you identify what it was used for and what is the inscription on it?

Thanks

It is a Tibetan dragon head meteor knife. I can only make out part of the writing, but it appears to be something about a meteorite or fall from the sky. You can see more if you search for Tibetan meteor knife. I hope that someone who knows more weighs in.
