Hi Jambu,

Thanks for the update on the cultural currency of stick use. Seems like everyone carries one. Also, you collection looks top notch. Perhaps when you get back home you could share some detail photos of the kaskaras and other Bega weapons. Blade markings and other details are of great interest to the forum. Also, the grip finial of your sword on the right as well as the one in the video is stylistically different from most kaskaras like the one from Kassala on the left. Are thry mostly Eritrian style?

Regards,
Edster
