Chinese "knife" money

Any info would be appreciated.

 

I'm ignorant on numismatics, but I do know that the object pictured isn't Chinese knife money (CKM). CKM was bronze and about 7" long, resembling a straight razor with a loop on end of handle. Your item appears to be iron, smaller, and wrong shape for CKM. I don't know what your item is, and I'm confused as to why it has green crud on it when iron doesn't produce green corrosion products that I know of.

 

You are correct, it is a weapon. On the crud issue most "bronze" age money & weapons have some degree of "crud". Half way down first page is a pic of the weapon I have. Also mine is same exact measurement

 

The link goes to a martial arts page with no knives. Anyway if u say it is bronze of course that explains the green stuff. I took the brown as iron but come to think of it, really old bronze can look like that. It does look completely like an excavated ancient bronze dagger.

 

The green looks new

Do not know why when it pasted it didn't highlight the whole link

 

That doesn't work either but this does

Here's a much better site to use for comparison as you can click on images and get larger one. OP's site has only very lo-res pix.
