@ Weapon 27 I am from the Haute Loire in the south of Auvergne, .....
I'll try to present my collection, but for me the aesthetical side has much more rare than knives
Here are two knives Ngala a beautiful simplicity.

Hello,
Allow me to welcome both of you, too. I collect little of everything, but mainly African artefacts and weapons. Your items are very nice !
Regards,
Martin

Now that is some very cool forge work. Have you tried to duplicate it?

I work all day in the same way with different tools, but if you'd like, I can make a wip (work in progress) on the same forge arrowhead. I do that this winter, I have ar living up to Christmas and I have to work.

Bonjour!

Welcome to this forum, soyez bienvenu!
I'm looking forward to see some of your african knifes.
I recognise one of your Ngala's

WELCOME TO THE FORUM,

VERY NICE ITEMS, THE SECOND ITEM IS VERY WELL MADE, ATTRACTIVE AND A VERY NICE VARIATION TO THE FORM AND AN IVORY HANDLE IS ALWAYS NICE. THE 3 SPEARS ARE SUPERB THAT KIND OF WORK AT THE FORGE ALWAYS MAKES ME THINK OF MAGIC.

CONGRADULATIONS ON A NICE COLLECTION I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE.

Hi and welcome to this forum.

The pîeces you show are beautiful. I must say that you have, as new collector of African arms, great taste.

But take care ! Collecting weapons is an addiction ! !
