Hi user24:
Welcome to the EAAF. This is indeed a recently made knife from West Africa. A few years ago I had an international student who brought several of these knives of varying lengths from Ghana as a present. The tooled leatherwork is actually quite attractive but the knives have poor non-functional blades. While I know they are being sold now in Ghana, I can't really give you a more precise geographic region in which they are made. Others here can probably give you more accurate information. Attached are pictures of several that I received from my student. Regards, Ian. ![]() ![]() |

yay! thanks a lot for this - that's solved a problem that's been bugging me for about 4 years! I honestly thought we'd never get further than "well, it looks eastern/african/turkish/etc".
