			I wonder if the blade has come from a locally made machete as I have seen blades of similar length and form with the three crude fullers sold new with scales made from salvaged tire rubber riveted on in West Africa. I have an example - not immediately at hand - of such a blade with an extender forte section mounted properly as a takouba. |
