I don't get it ... i am quite serious

I have been all the afternoon consulting sites on this theme ... i even saw a couple knives for such exercize. Only none looked like this one.
I have seen some such tools when i was in Africa, reason why the idea came to my mind.
But if it is not wellcome, i will draw it back.
Sorry
Fernando

Fernando dear chap it was meant as a joke. It is a big knife for a big ? you would not want to loose the top. Sorry I am British we cannot help ourselves.

I have been searching too. As you have read I went for it thinking it was African. I wonder? If I was right in the first place

Well Tim, i was like the fool on the bridge!
I have noticed the smily

, but also thaught of a mispeling, like you telling me not to go off top-ic.
Portuguese also play with words, only you have the advantage of mother language

Concerning the knife, i align on the queue for the Oriental version ... i know pretty well that you are on the African side.
BTW i am circumsized myself ... and still up top ... ic

Fernando how sad for a minute I thought you were on my side. Historically Portugal is Britain's oldest ally.
I suppose somebody could have collected a domestic knife and painted it in varnish to preserve it.

Or a bit like the Afghan Lohar sugar hammer. I have go one of those too sugar hammer that is.

Hello Tim,

I was perusing through the Oriental-Arms archive and I stubbled on to this interesting Afghan blade, very similar to your chopper: http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=1036 it has the same rounded serrations on the back and the curved, clipped point.
Here are some of the pics.

Regards,
Emanuel
