Thumbs up Mandau for swap ????

Early 20th century. Plain but elegantly forged and lovely balanced blade. Standard chisel edge but the last 2/3rds of the blade have been hollow forged giving the blade a light fast action. Blade length approx 21" or 53cm. Very nice copper wire weave on the handle {I know how hard that is to do}. The nicest part for me is the cut-out antler slice at the foot of the scabbard. I like clubs and some things from Africa. I can add many other Asian blades to the right swap.
