Hello after a long hiatus

(thanks Mark!)

some random things: from the top a Masai knife (sword) and Masai Spear (purchased in winter of 97/98 by a friend for a few american T-shirts)
then an unknown club/sports implement/tool/fake that I got in NYC at a pawn shop for 10 bucks - it's only claim to fame is the shop knew it as 'So and So's stick'
finally a tibetan 'double knife' that a friend bought for me in while visiting tibet in 96 - it is simple/crude construction where the blades slip past each other into each other's 'hilt' - wrapped with ?brass? embossed with dragons - likely tourist stuff.

close up of spear point and zebra skin/hair sheath:

close up of 'club' and tibetan knife:

other side of club and tibetan knife closed (some of the markings on the side of the stick are visible, they are very faded):

Any info on the 'club' and tibetan knife would be most welcome, the 'club' is a toal mystery to me and an anthropologist friend was unable to place it - the masai stuff as well, if people have additional info beyond what I have.

thanks, sorry for the huge (and slow) images
