				 |  Interesting knife 
			
			Anyone know where/when this knife came from? Looks cool. 😉 I'm guessing India... |

			This looks like yet another of the always confusing Malawi 'Yao' knives. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=malawi Regards Richard |

			I think it has been heavily cut down, does it have a T shaped back? I keep seeing Northern India with the bolster. Definitely a worthy find. |
