Hi All
This just arrived today. The blade is 10" long with an old ivory hilt. I am thinking that it may be Azande? Lew |

Nice knife, Lew. I think you're right with Azande.
Here is my Azande knife. I think the handle once had some kind of wrapping, but that's gone now. The blade is about 20 cm long and 5 cm wide near the handle. And it's really sharp ! ![]() |

It has something to do with the "old ivory hilt". Both show how the old ivory looks. Usually there are tiny crackles on old ivory. ![]() |
