Old African dagger, possibly from the Congo or Belgian Congo. Leaf-shaped old blade reconditioned by weaponsmith Tom Hyle. Grip is African-made, but newer than the blade (which is quite sharp). Scabbard is a modern reproduction/interpretation based on several African shoulder-slung scabbard styles.
