MANY OF EARLY MANS IDEAS AND INVENTIONS ARE COPYED FROM NATURE. FISH SPINES,PORQUEPINE SPINES, MAMMAL TEETH, CLAWS AND TUSKS,SNAKE FANGS AND SHAPES, EAGLE BEAKS AS WELL AS HORNBILL AND MANY OTHERS. IF IT WORKED FOR THE ANIMAL MAN OBSERVED AND FEARED IT WOULD MAKE A GOOD WEAPON. IT WOULD SEEM MANKIND THINKS MUCH THE SAME THE WORLD OVER SO THE SAME IDEAS WOULD NO DOUBT OCCUR IN MANY PLACES AND AT MANY DIFFERENT TIMES. AFTER SOMETHING WAS COPYED FROM NATURE MAN WOULD CHANGE IT AND FIND NEW WAYS OF USING IT.

TO ME THESE PARTICULAR AFRICAN KNIVES LOOK LIKE THE BEAK OF SOME LARGE RAPTOR SOME EVEN HAVE 2 HOLES WHICH COULD POSSIBLY REPRESENT EYES. DOES THIS TRIBE HAVE TRIBAL STORIES OR TOTUMS WITH AN EAGLE OR HAWK?
JUST MY THOUGHTS ON THEM I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THEM CONGRADULATIONS ON SOME NICE ONES.
