he has a blade like a big kitchen knife but heavy.. ive seen image sof these with brass handles handles with figures on them.. but also brass and horn or wood handles where the hilt is directly cast to the blade. as well as this type with wooden handles. and it looks like the french made trade blades in this shape as ive seen several european made blades of this type in images of madagascans..
