At the end another italian here that loves african blades!!! Well in recent times i have started to love also other blades, but Africa is still my first love!! PAOLO BENVENUTO!! Well i have a little knive that shows an handle and a pommel identical to the one of yours, Paolo, but the blade is different. Now i haven't a pic but tomorrow i will post some. I don't remember the provenience (of course congo, but which tribe?) maybe tomorrow i will see some references. ALLORA DI NUOVO BENVENUTO SPERO DI SCAMBIARE CON TE QUALCHE CHIACCHERA! CIAO (sorry  )

For Freddy
Do you think that also if blade is so small, it might be originally a spearpoint ? Paolo |

I can't read your message (NORTON antivirus stops it). Send, please, it to my email account. Paolo |

It's not the size that matters
 Look at this thread I started some time ago. The piece I'm showing there is also a converted spearblade, but it's huge ! http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=Freddy |

Here is my little shaver (seems!). The blade is another thing but the handle... On books I have found nothing like this but on http://www.mambele.be/ (Mr. Poppe's site) there is this one
http://www.mambele.be/knife_detail.p...0230&rowno=129 very similar attributed to the tribes Ngombe, Doko, Ngbandi, Mbudja. |
