Not an area I know much about but to me the construction flows very nicely and the overall shape is of one piece and meddle free. It is highly likely that the blade has always been kept cleaner than the handle it only takes seconds to wipe a blade. It is jolly impressive looking which I think its major purpose. Some forked weapons are for fighting but I suspect most are parade like pieces from the Sudan to Indonesia. I could rather fancy one.
