QUESTION ABOUT KNIFE

carlos · 8th December 2005, 08:16 PM

SOMETIMES I HAVE SEEN A STRANGE KNIFE WITH A WAVY BLADE AND A HILT WITH AUTHENTIC HORN, LIKE ANTELOPE, BUT ALWAYS SEE ONLY THE PICTURE. WHAT IS THE ORIGIN, AFRICA, INDIA OR INDONESIA?
THANKS

I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND AT LEAST SINCE THE EARLY 1960'S. THEY HAVE A ENTIRE ANTELOPE HORN FOR A HANDLE AND USUALLY A LOW QUALITY WAVEY BLADE BUT SOMETIMES JUST A CURVED ONE. I THINK THEY MOSTLY COME FROM THE SUDAN (AFRICA) BUT I HAVE ALSO SEEN KNIVES WITH THE ENTIRE HORN FOR A HANDLE OR SOMETIMES THE SCABBARD COMING OUT OF EGYPT AND INDIA, BUT MOST I THINK HAVE BEEN SUDANESE. PERHAPS SOMEONE HAS ONE OF THESE.? STRANGELY ENOUGH I NEVER GOT AROUND TO GETTING ONE.
