This traditional knife features a straight, single-edged steel blade. The hilt is constructed of wood wrapped in leather, and the scabbard is decorated with leather fringes. The steel blade has a dark patina. Manufactured in Liberia, this knife represents traditional West African craftsmanship. These weapons were carried by local tribesmen for protection and daily utility tasks. The leather scabbard features hand-woven geometric designs and a built-in leather whip. The leather remains supple with minor age cracking.
