I don't need glasses, I've been to Africa several times and seen everything with my own eyes. Knives are sold in Africa not in supermarkets, but in small open-air shops or simply along the highway on the ground. A special feature of Africa's climate is that it often rains, followed by bright sunshine. Patina appears after two to three months, and the wood on the handle also cracks. The blades of such knives are made of poor quality iron, 1.5 - 2.5 mm thick and therefore cannot be used for their intended purpose. The tourism business has existed in Africa for many decades, and local residents make such knives. Hebeisen has been producing replica and fantasy knives for Zirngibl and other dealers for decades. A clear indication of the success that Hebeisen’s knives have achieved is that they are currently being reproduced in Africa, which demonstrates the African blacksmith’s proactive response to the demands of the European market. I already posted this photo of the “African Supermarket”. Regards, Yuri |
