Two Boumali throwing knives from Gabon

Wow, they look very cool - thanks for sharing them!

Interesting with the left/right thing. Are there any practical differences between right-handed and left-handed in their use (throwing technique?), or is it purely a cosmetical thing? I can see that only one side of the knives are decorated. but maybe they travel like a boomerang in the way that the direction of trajectory is decided by the throwing hand? I know next to nothing about African knives, so I hope you'll forgive my many questions.

Where lefties always smaller than righties?

Best wishes for your sunday, - Thor
