Is this meant for a final blow in a "hunt?" Swords are pretty bad for hunting compared to arrows and spears.

I imagine so - I know that's what European hunting swords were used for, so I presume the same counts here.

I gather this is meant to be a showy piece used by some rich dude.

Nice looking, but I'm more partial to the glorified sword-shaped spears that are boar hunting swords
