Default Trade blades in West Africa
I came across this in The Book of the Sword by Victorian soldier, polymath & sword enthusiast Sir Richard Burton (1884); I wasn't sure which thread to put it in, but thought it an interesting point of departure for speculation regarding, presumably, Takouba blades, whether or not it's accurate.
