Shula S'boula/Jiboula

[RobT]

Hi All,

I know that it sounds like the beginning of a verse from Shirley Ellis' name game song but I was wondering how forum members would classify this knife. The hilt is clearly an s’boula/jiboula form but the blade and sheath are just as clearly shula. I’ll come right out with my opinion that it should be considered an s’boula/jiboula because the hilt was placed on the blade by a person of the s’boula/jiboula culture. But were the situation the other way around (shula hilt on an s’boula/jiboula blade), I’m not so sure I would want to call it a shula. What do you guys think?

Sincerely,
RobT
