Small mystery knife

Thanks for the input, guys. I was also inclined to think it was Manding.

And to Kipinga50 : Welcome to this forum

Perhaps the knife I'm showing is some kind of woman's knife, due to its size ? I know these exist in Africa, for example amongst the Mangbetu in Congo.

Nice little knife. I too thought that its Manding, but also thought that it may have been influenced by european styles?
