interesting sword; kind of 1/2 way between an ilwoon and a Konda/Mongo double-hook sword. This genereal type of sword (including IMHO even seme etc.) with its wide thin cutting tip may have contributed (along with hwi and mambele) to the evolution of the modern machete. Would the tip have been symmetrical originallly? The flat facets to the pommel are interesting.
