Default gile knife of the Afar people?
hi everybody!

i've got this knife few days ago and i'd like to know more about this beacuse i'm not sure what is it exactly.
last weekend i visited an old friend and i found this knife in his basement and he told me that is coming from Morocco. a french man gave it to him long time ago who probably bought this knife in Morocco.
my friend wasn't interested in antiques and he just gave me this weapon
after i google the moroccan knives and it didn't match, those are completely different. then i tried with african knives and i found something similar on this site. it seems i have an afar gile
what do you think about it?
