That's because we are all stumped!


I really like this knife.

So seeing as I know folk often don't want to be the first to throw out some ideas.

The first thing that occured was the similarity to Spanish knives.
But the hilt and pommel shape make me think that the spanish 'feel' is a red herring and this is more likely to be African. Have a look at this Yoruba knife:
