3 worn but honest African knives

Great Fang! I love them.
If mine, I wouldn't have cleaned it that much, but that's personal taste.

Thanks Pieje, I like them too, wished I had the scabbard to this one but no such luck, I don't seem able to resist cleaning copper and brass but it will oxidise again in time.

Hi Miguel,

:-) I understand, did the same once with the copper nails on the butt stock of an 'africanised' rifle...I regretted, but couple of months later oxidation had already darkened the nails again.

I also have some Fang knives, will post a picture.

Hello Pieje,

Great trio of Fang knives with scabbards. I didn't realize that the scabbards varied so much, I have only seen the wide one as the first item in your photo. Is the reason tribal or status or just individual preference, do you happen know?

Thank you.
In fact I have never seen a scabbard like my first Fang, did you??

Almost all Fangs have scabbards like the second and third.
The third one is probably the oldest of the three.
