and my zulu iwisa i got from so. africa...

it's made of 'assegai' wood (Curtisia faginea - also known as cape lancewood). it's a strong, dense and heavy wood. the boers would use it for load bearing wagon spokes, but didn't like working it as it blunted their saws and tools and was hard to carve. it's about 32 in. long.
