Lamination in Central African pieces

I have little knowledge of metallurgy, but do you mean this when you talk about laminated blades on African weapons ?

According to my very humble opinion, this is a Mbuun knife from Congo.

Thanks for the comments,
Freddy,your knife is just what I was looking for.

Vandoo,I think you nailed it for my knife in particular,long thick nails would have been about right for the flaws in my blade.

Tom-thanks for the definition of 'mono steel', I was a little confused on that.
