Colin, no help here but the bronze work is beautiful and the blade looks very strong and not of the quality typically found in African knives. Congrats.

Scabbard has elements of Manding work in it (the thick raised bands), cast bronze reminds me of Kirdi ceremonial daggers, in terms of the quality of the casting.
A really fantastic piece Colin! |
