Is it just me or do they look needlessly fancy for a killing implement? They don’t look like they were designed to be actually used.
Have any experimental archaeologists worked with these to see how they perform at various jobs? Could the knobbly bits be for sawing or grinding particular foodstuffs or impressing a pattern upon a medium when building or w/e?
Probably mace. Those things don’t look like they can chop anything
