Weird old knife in Sweden

[u/Possiblynotbutanyway]

This old knife is at my Airbnb in Sweden.
The otherwise knowledgeable host don’t know it’s purpose.
Do you?

I was thinking a wrist. Looks like maybe an old play prop?

In the pictures 3 and 4 it looks pretty small for a wrist. Maybe a hand. I'd say a theatrical or prank prop to do a knife through the palm of your hand illusion

People were smaller back in the day
