Picked up out of curiosity a "cheap" lot of three Ethiopian daggers/knives. Turns out I got lucky as one of them was in superb conditions, quite old, complete and untouched in its original conditions. I need help in positive id. So, Martin, as you are the expert on these particular items, is this a SIDAMO knife? Blade is 14.5" long. Pretty heavy and sharp. Scabbard still has the original thin leather covering. All in all is one of the best additions to my Ethiopian collection. Happy hunting to all of you guys.
