I bring it up because I'm not convinced it's origin is indigious or European, and its excessive bendiness is another point in the "indiginous" column. The deep, wide, straight hollow ground fuller is a point on the "European" side. Was this blade forged from scrap metal in west Africa post WWII, or was it made in the 1800's in Solingen or Chatellerault or Sheffield.
