I need help to I.D. a congolese dagger.
 
Hello All
I'm new here and I must say what a great resource! I bought this knife recently and the guy who sold it to me said he thought it was Pende. I haven't been able to match it up to anything. Although the silhouette is very similar to a Tetla dagger that I found the construction is quite different. (the Tetla was formed of two symetrical planes welded in an offset central ridge. the blade on my new knife is not offset.)

A picture would help greatly if you could post one here.

Sorry, I tried and I think my picture might have been too big. I'll try again...
