Hello Marius,
It's a Konda status knife also common by the Lia, Mpama and Sengele. Source: panga na visu, Manfred A. Zirngibl & Alexander Kubetz, page 176, item 411 Regards, Detlef |

Brilliant!
Thank you very much! :) |
You are welcome Marius! :)

Yes, a classic example of a Konda parade sword; speaking of the rounded tip, a legend says that a king of the Konda federation wanted to express the military power of his kingdom by imposing on his warriors "not very offensive" swords, because there was no opponent around who dared to challenge such a power...

A good measure; smart king ;) .
