This might not be like the ones you see in books {which we all want madly} but it would do me very nicely for starters. It most be a currency or parade/dance item. Lucky you. Tim

I BUMPED UP A OLD POST WITH A PICTURE OF A KNIFE/AXE LIKE YOURS. I ADDED SOME INFORMATION ON MY EXAMPLE AT THE BOTTOM. THE POST TOPIC IS (AFRICAN AX TRY OUT) LOTS OF GOOD INFO AND PICTURES OF AFRICAN AXES THERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF THE ODD FINISH ON YOUR AXE BLADE PERHAPS ONE OF OUR METAL WORKERS MAY HAVE SOME IDEAS. AT ANY RATE YOURS IS A NICE EXAMPLE AND IF YOU GOT IT CHEAP CONGRADULATIONS ARE IN ORDER

Thank you Tim and Vandoo. Tim I don't think that blades with an handle could be used as currency and moreover if the blade is decorated and if also the handle is decorated with copper wire. In this case the blade is very thin and i'm agree with you that maybe this knife was used for dance/rituals/parade. Thank you
