QUITE A NICE LITTLE ASSORTMENT, FROM LITTLE THINGS BIG THINGS GROW.
AS USUAL THE BEAUTY IS IN THE HANDS OF THE HOLDER

THE SECOND AFRICAN KNIFE IS LIKELY NGOMBE OR DOKO POSSIBLY LOBALA TRIBE IN THAT ORDER OF LIKLYHOOD AND SURELY FROM THE CONGO. I LIKE THESE AND THERE ARE SOME REALY FANCY ONES AROUND. YOUR EXAMPLE DOSEN'T HAVE THE USUAL FORM OF HANDLE BUT STILL LOOKS GOOD. THE TRUMBASH HAS IT ALL FORM AND AN IVORY HANDLE MUCH TO BE DESIRED.

THE MANDAU HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES AS WELL, VERY NICE CARVED ANTLER HANDLE, INTACT GRIP WITH EVEN A COIN, SCABBARD WITH BELT AND BEADWORK AND EVEN THE SIDE KNIFE A GOOD COMPLETE EXAMPLE.
