Something common with Congo blades but also seen else where in Africa. I have Somali examples. I do not think it has been discussed before in detail, there has been some mention. Age does not seem to be relevant, most old photographs show clean white blades with some two tone finished weapons. I know discussion is difficult without field research but has anybody come across any information. Could it be simply fashion, personal choice, particular regional smiths and finishers, rank? Are there black blades from other parts of the world ?
