African throwing knife???

[Tim Simmons]

Examples of this type of knife can be seen in many publications about Central/East Africa and no mention of throwing. The blades do tend to be thin but that is almost pan African. I think if one is to bring to mind what REME stands for {Royal Electical,Mechanical,Engineers} I am not surprised that the cataloging is in error. They are soldiers trained in a rather more prescripted discipline.
