Scarey knife

If I may chime in

I think it is a wonderful piece actually. I like the wood, its flaws but also how it appears to be polished by use.
Having been to Angola (ex-Portuguese colony) and part of the Congo nation, I've seen some spears and machetes that at the time I did not looked with the same eyes as now.
Very interesting piece.

I enjoy these 'down and dirty' pieces too , they're very elemental and no doubt belonged to those in the lowest strata of whatever society they lived in .

Tim , from the pictures this dagger looks like it has dull edges ; does it ?

here's a rough and tumble piece from the Philippines .
