I got this knife today when I put some money in a charity box. I find it rather spooky, the crude but purposeful nature has a curious appeal. The blade has been forged, it does not apear to have come from something else. The wood handle has insect damage, wether this was in the wood or has happened since carving I can not tell. The tang has been peened over in a rough fashion. OAL 32cm blade 20 cm. I would say this is African, it cunjures up old images of The Dark Continent. Anyone come across anything like it? Tim
