Small mystery knife
I recently got this small knife in a trade. The person who owned it thought it was native American, but I'm not so sure.
When I first saw it, I was more inclined to think it was from West-Africa.
This piece came with a leather scabbard in which covers part of the handle. A bit similar to Scandinavian knives (puuko).
It has a simple blade with a straight cutting edge. The handle is made out of wood with an iron ferule and a copper (?) pommel.
Total length of the knife : 21,5 cm.
Perhaps another forum member can help me to identify this knife ?
