Shi - Hutu sword Rwanda?

I am familiar with fetish material that could be a lot of things, most of them organic, blood, milk, dung, chewed betel nuts, palm oil that has dried and gotten "crusty" but this really looks like tar. Perhaps something like paint?

It is not unpleasant and actually adds to the appearance of the blade.

I also wonder how they got such good work with some of the incredibly primitive forges and tools.
