			It's often what the people said: a bird like knife, duck or pelican. 
		
		
		
			You're right the knife is forged in one bar.No welding, no join.A good work of forging.Some other knives from this region of sub-saharian / central Africa are made in the same way. Thickness between 4mm and 1cm, size 70cm/23cm, 3cm for the stem. Luc  |
