Here are some of the smallest pieces in my collection. Even though they are small, I still like these knives. They are probably simple functional pieces. Their origin lies in Congo, but that's all I know.
Great thing about them : they don't take a lot of space
. And that is important in any collection, no ?
The first three are the smallest.
From left to right : 23 cm, 14,5 cm and 14 cm.
This fourth dagger is peculiar. I have never seen one with a similar handle. The handle is wood with some copper wire as ferule. On one side a copper nail with a small circular metal 'plaque' (?) has been added. Total length is 27,5 cm.
I have no idea where this one comes from. Anyone else has an idea ?
