A nice piece, I love the handle. I recently came across some very detailed information about the twin serpent and people motif seen in the tropical west African seaboard. When I find it again I shall post it. Fernando has a fine example of a knife showing the primordial couple, I cannot remember the stuff about the snakes. Perhaps if we all smile nicely for him he might be persuaded to post it here. I will sart, hi Fernando

Finally arrived....and did not disappoint.
Forged blade, whole knife feels nice, 'solid' and 'substantial'. Handle is nicely carved ....definately looks to have some age...some of the leather panels covering the wood based scabbard have shrunk due to age. Posted a few pictures of the carving, still have not found similarly designed handles....has anyone seen any other examples? |
