Default Kipinga

Latest acquisition, a kipinga throwing knife from the Nzakara. What is special about it is that the back is hollow forged. I had seen pictures of this technique but had not had one in my hands until now. The handle is unfortunately missing and the small central rod is broken off at the top, otherwise in good condition.
In 2008 Luc Lefebre posted a similar kipinga on the forum, complete with handle.


Best regards
Marc
