It would be easy to make some armour from plant fibres, like hanging a door mat from your neck.

Hi guys, take a look at this one: this lobala dagger (Congo) is attached to the armor in very thick leather that protects the back of the carrier. I have seen de visu this piece and it is enough impressive!

Great picture Flavio. It would seem that this is an armour piercing knife. If a warrior delivered enough force to make a hole. The rest of the knife with sharp expanding edges would open it even more. This was another gamble buy. This time I rather fancy lady luck was on my side. Sweet .

The big one I showed previously measures 45 cm.

And here's a small one, only measuring 27,5 cm.

This took some time, I think I have gone far enough or have I over done it?
