I am sure someone will be able to enlighten me from which tribe this knife coming and maybe how it is called. Thank you in advance.

The books I have say this type of knife is used by the Ngombe and Poto tribal groups (East-Central Congo). However, I think such attributions can be quite fluid and probably "style areas" is a better concept...

Regards.

Hello Colin,

thank you very much, now when you have given me the hint I've found similar knives in "panga na visu". Thank you very much again.

Regards,
Detlef
