Default Mambele Sickle Sword?
i've just acquired one of these from thinreadline on the the swap forum. i generally do not like african swords, but this one grabbed me by the leg and forced me to buy it. it wants to live with me.

i note from other discussions here that there is some question as to their use in combat situations. it is a bit unusual.

found this video which may answer some questions:
