Central African sickle knife/Ngombe Bero.

You're right a real weapon, not only for show.

Here's a picture of a Ngombe warrior with sickle knife and shield

A sickle knife from my collection. It still has a leather strap attached to the handle. Length : 81 cm ! The handle only measures 9 cm. The blade is completely engraved on one side. The other side is almost plain. There's only a small engraving where near the small moon shaped extension.

Look at the very nice engraving.

Still a very functional piece. The blade is sharp on both sides and on its full length.

Now it's up to you again, Tim
