Thumbs up Knobkerries

You cannot say you collect African weapons with out one.Rubbish ones are still made and hawked today.Made through out a huge area of southern Africa.A good one is a pleasure to handle and compared to southern spears an extravagant use of wood.These are my examples, both aprox-69cm long.Somebody out there must have some of the more exciting ones with the carved or off-set heads.I hope to start something off by saying, the ones with brass wire are not Zulu but other people further north like what was Mashonaland.Tim
