Mambisa/Mabendi sheat; those knives are hard to find, a complete knife should look like this. (Ratzel 1895; Wolf-Dieter Miersch collection; and 2 examples found on the net) The Konda knife is a-typical and might have been made to fit the scabbard. Nice little knife. |

Thanks for the pictures. The sheath has a very substantial and well-made spearpoint tip, vastly beyond ornamental; was it made as a secondary weapon or to be used in conjunction with the knife in fighting? Possibly as a picket post for a horse or livestock?
