I found this at an antique shop for pretty cheap and thought it was cool, but I can't seem to figure out what it is or where it's from. I was thinking something along the lines of a nimcha or hunting trousse? That's as far as I got in my research.
i think it is Japanese - maybe a woodsman's tool? sort of like a leatherman or multi-tool jackknife, maybe?
Could be yeah... it definitely seems to be a multi-functional device.
Much too crude to be a Japanese tool. Look up nata.
The handle is typical of those made by the Toraja people of Suluwesi, Indonesia. See:
