Hello Freddy, i'm agree with you: i don't think that is a tetela knife but you know that tribes located in near areas could influence themselves one each other. What do you think about the attribution of the site www.mambele.be ?

The site you mentioned is one of the sources where I looked for a similar knife. I also tried to find an answer in one of my books.
You should bear in mind that a lot of these knives were traded amongst these tribes, so sometimes it's difficult to place them.
