A nice piece, I love the handle. I recently came across some very detailed information about the twin serpent and people motif seen in the tropical west African seaboard. When I find it again I shall post it. Fernando has a fine example of a knife showing the primordial couple, I cannot remember the stuff about the snakes. Perhaps if we all smile nicely for him he might be persuaded to post it here. I will sart, hi Fernando
