			No doubt that the blade is real and has come from an old weapon.  I do not like the pride of the hammer marks on the pommel either.  Even if this was made by a tribal village blacksmith it is crude.  The bars came from a big lump of expensive metal.  Even the crudest African knives I have display more aestheticism.
