Many thanks for the input on this dagger.

The shallow diamond cross-section of the blade seems a bit unusual for African weapons...but I notice one of the Mandara short swords posted by Iain (separate thread) has a similar cross-section, also the curved profile of the blade. Do you think this is an indigenous development or the result of external influences ?

Regards.
