Good Congo knives, thanks for posting.

Could the second knife shown be made from a spearhead ?

I don't think so, Colin.

Most Central African spears have spearheads with a socket. This knife has a tang which goes through the handle.

The shape of the blade could have some resemblance with the shape of some Congolese spearheads, though.
