The first file is the weapon itself.
The second file (which I did not caption, by the way -- there is no way this blade's a throwing knife) shows a group of Gbayas posing for a European photographer (no idea what the original source was, worse luck). The tall guy to the center-right of the photo has one of these weapons, which suggests that they were used in warfare, but doesn't guarantee it.
Basically, I'd like some opinions from our expert community as to whether or not this is a practical or ceremonial weapon, please.
