I have no idea unless we both bought similar knives from the same person. This is my first African weapon and I was doing a search for information and this post was one of the first ones I checked. Imagine my surprise when I saw the top pictures!! The knives are slightly different but everything else including the ruler look the same to me. VERY strange!! This kind of stuff seems to be happening to me a lot lately. Not sure if I should be worried about it or not.

What can anyone tell me about the age and origin of this knife?
