Hello Luc, to be honest I don't see so many differences between the second one you posted and the others two from Mambele.be and the hungaan are quite different. More as you know the four tribes are all very near and, if I'm not wrong, all are in the "area of influence" of the kuba. What i'm trying to say is that I never seen (but my experience it's limited) a lele knife - sword - dagger or spear even if the other artistic demonstrations (as masks or statues) are well known. Maybe these kind of knives are common of all these tribes and difficult to discern the real provenience.
