Need help to identify a knife from Congo

I think what makes Colin question this piece is, to my eye what you have is a spear point mounted as a knife. This is often found .

Hello Barry And Tim,

thank you both for comment and your good thoughts about this dagger. In the meanwhile and closer inspection of this piece, special the patina at the handle and the sort of pitch which is used for attaching the handle to the possible spear point I am nearly convinced that you are correct, this "dagger" seems native compiled.

Best regards,
Detlef
