Vandoo, I agree it has a lot of Wedung features but it has almost as many unlike a wedung. The seller thought it was African. Heres a link http://old.blades.free.fr/swords/par...d01/wedung.htm It shows a longer extension of the blade re-enforcing the hilt and perhaps giving more strength for chopping. Also the clip for a sash is on the front, both may only be a cheaper way to manufacture the knife. Oh, the blade is small about 6 1/2 inches long. thank you for your quick response and advice I'll look further in old posts. Steve
