Description

wood, iron, the wooden handle partly covered with metal sheet, old collection number and label: “L. 1/27 Haumesser Kongo A. Krämer”, min. dam., small missing part at the handle;
it is overly long for an African knife and has a flat, wide point with a small hook above the handle - a vestige of the devoluted throwing knife form. These knives are often covered with beautiful patterns and strengthened with ribs for robust usage.
