African dagger for comment
Hi, Found this dagger, total lenght 38 cm, it doesn't look old but it would be nice to know where it's from. I like the handle, looks a bit unusual. Any comment is welcome.

Hi Congo
This is a similar dagger I picked up from Flavio this month. I think it is of Hausa origin? Lew |
