Hi Asomotif, I was too fast to reply because I had in mind the various knives of Mangbetu and nearby tribes published in the booklet written by Elsen 2000 Tribal Arm Monograph N.3 Sickle weapons. Today I was watching the book of Elsen 2009 Fatal Beauty: Traditional weapons from Central Africa. ISBN 978-98601-8462-4 and at pag. 209 n.221 I found a knife almost identical to your one attributed to the Bod-Meje that are neighbours of the Mangbetu. Sorry for the error.
