Fearn

Some of those African pieces were used the ring knife was outlawed many years ago and my foot knife is the real deal these were self defense items carried every day in Africa. As far as the sock sword is concerned that was an experimental sword. The kora were used in Nepal for battle up until 1830-50. The African Ngala beheading swords were used back in the 1800s. All those nasty African daggers and swords were used and designed to kill at one time but evolved into status or ceremonial pieces later on in the late 19th and early 20th century.
