The Konda people have a tendency of making weapons with all kinds of curves and hooks. Most of these weapons are ceremonial. Some of them, like the one I showed in the thread, are very well made and could be used as a weapon.

Here's a small axe, also from the Konda-tribe. The blade is not of the same quality of the sword blade, but it's still a nice piece.
Length of shaft : 24,5 cm
Axe blade : 9,3 x 8,5 cm
