I recently found this copper knife on a Belgian auction site. When I received it, I was happily surprised to find out it was quite a good piece.
The copper blade shows hammermarks and is constructed as most Centralafrican blades are : one side of the blade is higher than the other side.
What intrigued me most was the handle. To me, it look Mangbetu. But I have never seen a Mangbetu knife with a similar blade (I'm still young, though
)
Other opinions are appreciated.
The pics are perhaps not entirely clear, these are the ones from the auction site. I can always make other ones.
Ah yes, I forgot : this knife measures 28,5 cm.
