Default Two unusual African knives with brass hilts
These are a recent acquisition. I've seen knives occasionally from West Africa with brass/bronze hilts, but not this type. One seems to be a Sudan arm dagger and the other an East/Central African utility or agricultural piece.

Has anyone seen anything comparable ? Comments, references etc., are welcome.

The curved knife has an edge only on the convex side.
