Hello,

Just got this African blade and I have no idea what it is. So please help me with that!

Regards,

Marius

Hi Marius,

nice one, I've had once this one: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=trumbash now it's in the hands from Marcus!

Thank you for your comments!

Now I know what I have!

I am now looking for one similar to the one Detlef had. I simply love the shapes of these knives.

I have several of these knives in my collection:

Thank you for the photos and have a nice weekend!

Thanks Marius!
But this type of knife is not rare so you could easily find another one yourself.
Another from my collection:

Where do you get your stands from, or more exactly where do you have them made?
