The hand-forged, iron blade utilizes a 2.25 clipped point and shows original, heavy pitting.

In original, as found condition! The very heavy, rounded, all iron D-guard is tapered and turned down at the quillon with a fabulous fighting fish effigy. On a knife or sword, the crossguard, or cross-guard, also known as quillons, is a bar of metal at right angles to the blade, placed between the blade and the hilt. The crossguard was developed in the European sword around the 10th century for the protection of the wielder's hand. The blade tang passed through the end of the guard and is peened over. One-piece, wood grip slightly ovoid in cross section with heavy. 50 iron ferrule at the base. A nice Confederate knife clearly used for fighting and not just show.
