African small sword id request

This is interesting since it appears to be related to African Sticks...
Is it more a stick than a sword? Could it be related to the style of weapon seen at https://barbadosunderground.wordpres...stick-licking/ which came to Barbados and the Carribbean region from the Congo...?

I looked at a close cousin of sticks..The whip like Sjambok but the project example here seems to be more stick or sword orientated. Looking up African Sword Sticks now...and I follow the detail stated by Jim as to the ceremonial aspect of sticks Knob Kerries and all...in the Manding and related tribal groups...

Regards,
