Interesting African dagger
 
Picked this up for about $5 Recently made but exhibits a well made blade at about 6 inches in length.the wooden hilt has a step design that bites the hand during a thrust. It arrived today I cleaned the blade and smoothed down the hilt and gave it a coat of wax. Will post new pics tomorrow.

Sometimes the honest description of the place (and date) of collection of specific weapon adds to this hobby another dimension....

The blade seems to have a style similar to many blades around the Victoria lake. It could be older than the handle and I would suggest that it has been recycled for this new knife. The handle seems made of palm tree but I wait for a confirmation. Nice new or almost new knife. I would be curious to know if it is a typical Karamojong knife.
