This is true of the couple I've seen in the local Somali museum here in Minnesota.

Here's my collection. I think I should soak a couple of these sheathes in oil.

Have fun,

Hi Leif


Thanks for the response and clarification regarding the blade. I have had a few billao's in my hands in the past, but could not remember how thick the blades were.
Nice collection of billao's, but I am also curious about the story of the Somali museum in Minnesota.


Best regards
Marc
