Another African knife

Look at the blade of this spear, cut in half then put together with some brass tube. Alas I was the mug who paid money for it. I will retrieve from the loft space {where the horrors lurk like in the exorcist} and take better pictures of the blade in the next day or two.

Tim is right it looks like a spear point.
But the handle ???

I have this heavy stabbing spear with simular blade. The blade is 51 cm long without the fitting; total lenght 158 cm. See 'Westerdijk' Groep 1, G (Nbaja) or H Ngbandi, Bati, Benge, Poto, Ngome en "Gens d'eau). I have no idee about the handle.
