Very interesting little knife. With that iron wrap round the handle, it reminds me of the small Chokwe ? ones with holes to the wooden handle.

I don't have access to my books just now, but that type should be illustrated in "Beaute Fatale" However, I have never seen an African knife with holes like this to the blade.

Regards
