Mandinka knife and one other unknown ( to me)
6 Attachment(s)
Hi
I purchased a job lot of knives, lance head, bayonets, khukuri, Japanese wakizashi . All at a local auction. It looked to be someone's old collection, nothing was cared or looked after and most items were rusty and in poor state, all items cleaned up nicely though. All seem to be genuine, nice items, turn of the century and before. I dismissed these knives as just African but as the other items are of some age I was wondering if anyone could point me as to what these items may be The one in scabbard I am taking as a mandinka knife of typical form 13 inch blade. The other knife looks just to be a stabbing knife as it is so pointy ( reminds me of blade on a commando knife) The handle is woodcovered with leather wrap. Blade has rudimentary but nicely done wiggles on both side V sharp at tip Anyone any idea as to place of origin. Many thanks Ken |
