hello from France
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum.
To begin, let me introduce myself, I am knifemaker blacksmith by trade, I live in France and I speak very little English. I use a translator to write on the internet. You will forgive me, I hope, faults of language. I've been collecting since shortly knives African region of Congo. share my profession, I am interested in forging these weapons of war or ceremonial. As a new collector, I have a bit of everything, but I'm starting to focus on the fine amount. I hope to share with you and aprendre, I'll show you my most interesting pieces for me. thank you for the welcome you among |

@ Weapon 27 I am from the Haute Loire in the south of Auvergne, .....
I'll try to present my collection, but for me the aesthetical side has much more rare than knives Here are two knives Ngala a beautiful simplicity. Last edited by Lee; 28th August 2012 at 12:53 AM. |

Hi and welcome to this forum.
The pîeces you show are beautiful. I must say that you have, as new collector of African arms, great taste. But take care ! Collecting weapons is an addiction ! !

please accept my apologizes about the delay to welcome you, specially that you are a compatriot  but some rush moments, prevented me to be fast as usual as you have mentioned, you are a "knife-maker blacksmith", very interesting news, but if it's not to much indiscreet, where are you established in France ? unfortunately, I'm not a collector of African weapons, I mean, "Black Africa" as we said in France, I'm a collector for Islamic weapons, included those from "North Africa" we'll have anyway, a common area in the Sub-Sahel zone about your "English expression" don't be worry, ... here they are already well habituated ... with me, to read a "funny English"  Amicalement à + Dom |
