Small Dogon knife
This one was the personal knife of a seller in a small Dogon village. He had not a single knife to sell, so he sold is own.
Mens use to wear at least one of those tiny knifes. Older mens were seen with two or three of them, hanging from a leather bag. Each one has apparently is own utility.
It has the typical red and black triangular patterns on the scabbard, and a very simple double-edged blade (wich is now cleaned, don't worry!).
