a number of references mentioned that the blades were untempered...however, I have just checked this one ....and its tempered I believe mine is an example of the Bantu blacksmiths craft. Perhaps those produced by the Masai were untempered. I will try and 're-discover' the references I mentioned earlier. Are all yours tempered?

Best Regards David
