African knife ID please
6 Attachment(s)
Here's a knife I picked up recently and I believe it's from Africa but would like all of you to take a look and give your opinions and evaluations
I hope the pics are OK, it's pretty bright out here today. Thanks to all, Warren in Arizona |
It looks as though somone has reworked an old bayonet.

Yes, it does resemble an old bayonet in shape, I guess I should have included some measurements.
The blade is 8 inches from the tip of the tang to the tip of the blade. The tang is 1.5 inches and the blade is 6.5 inches. The handle and bolster are a little more then 4 inches. The overall when put together is 10.5 inches. I don't know what type of horn the handle is. The bolster looks like an old thimble cut to fit. The handle is filled with a yellowish very hard cement that had dried out and allowed the tang to come loose. I think it's too small to have been a bayonet blade at one time. Thanks, Warren in Arizona |
