Beautiful piece none the less.
You're correct; it's obviously a knife...!

It can be worn in the armpit, as the name implies. The hook (with the decorative waves) allows the sheath to be hung in the armpit opening of one's waistcoat, or in the coat sleeve.

My wife hangs it on a thin waist-belt when she's wearing it....
