Default ZANDE throwing knife

I'm really happy with this Zande TK, I was searching a nice one since a long time, I've got it ! With engravings on the blade and a complete handle.

Not a joke...I have a project : try to throw different kind of TK to see how they are responding, I have to find the right place to do it (a friend of mine lost 2 TK trying them in an open field, they disappear in the ground and he never found them back
A volunteer to try with me...

Thanks all for your comment.

Luc, a very nice example indeed.
I especially like the engraving, the spiral symbols are very interesting, and common to many diverse cultures, do you why the spiral is important to the Zande?

....oh by the way.....where is that field???????
