Hi Stuart,
it originally was a 'herb chopper' I actually bought an old 'chopper' to see if the blade would be ideal as an axehead (will post pics later.....camera battery dead ). I am assuming that 'unfinished' herb cutters ie the blade and shaft were traded with the local Zulu population. However, I cannot find any references to support this.

Kind Regards David
