It is rather like this from the Congo. Freddy, Danny and Luc are awfully clued up on this sort of thing. In fact I got this knife from Freddy. Pics are not so good as the weather is rather nice in the UK at the moment.

It is from Congo, I have one found with a wooden scabbard.
The african seller told me it was a circoncision knife, but I have no more info, maybe it is just a small knife...
The other pic is from Fatal Beauty, described as Hemba Eastern-Luba.
