African small dagger

Thank you Tim. About the damage on the handle, i don't try to repair it because i think that the damages are a part of "Knife life" so I usually leave the weapons as i receive them, I only clean the blade from the rust to prevent more damages.
I'm more for a preservative restoration than for a reconstructive restoration.

Hi Flavio

Nice dagger! The loose binding can be tightened up but I won't add any new binding on it just won't look right.
