OK, this conversation has got me a bit wound up in a good way. What do I have here then? Bought as a walking stick at a Steampunk fair, and used by me as such.... but there s a clear resemblance to others posted here.

Looks like So. African 'assagai wood' - One clue: Does it float or sink in a bathtub of water?

I do not think it would be a good idea to attack Rourke's Drift, tho.
I fear it's a bit more prickly than Isandlwanana was.
