Need help with this odd brass piece

[Nathan6309]

I went to a local creek with my friend today and stumbled across this find. It looks to be a thin, crude, brass object with a small Rivet at one corner. Unfortunately the other end broke off long ago so I have no idea what the other side may have looked like. I originally guessed it to be a busted sheet of brass and nothing more, but the uniformity of the shape and edges leads me to believe this was intentionally made this way and could be a decorative item. Other than this, I am at a complete loss for what this may have been. Anybody have any ideas?

Yup, that would be a huge knife. A pocket folding machete?

It definitely looks similar to a pocket knife piece, but it seems a little large to be that. This was found where a large collection of 1920s relics came from, so it could be from around that time frame. I knew this piece would definitely be a long shot for determining an exact ID, but thought I’d post it anyway to see what the folks on here could come up with.

Agree. It would be big. Just trying to "get the ball rolling"...
