military implements of the Roman Empire
This is a description of machetes (Haumesser) in a Roman military camp. It is presented here as an example of a fascine knife, others having been previously discussed:
Daß aber auch andere Formen besonders in frühem militärischem Kontext vorkommen, zeigen Haumesser mit mittig an der Klinge ansetzender Tülle, mit **Schaftlappen** oder mit geknicktem Rücken aus Militärlagern der Okkupationszeit in Germanien.
My draft:
The fact that other forms also exist, especially in an early military context, is shown by machetes from military camps of the occupation period in Germania, which have a shaft socket centered on the blade, with shaft flanges [??] or folding backs.[??-next query is on this one!]
Many thanks, if there's an archeologist out there!

knife grip cover
I am not a archeologist but I would suggest that it is to do with a knife grip (Schaft) and this is then covered with cloth (lappen).
This is my suggestion, I hope it is helpful

But it looks like the weapon you're dealing with is a combination of sword and axe, since the haft socket is in the middle of the blade.
