African Maasai seme








length: 23"
blade: 18"
blade width: 13/16" base, 2 1/4" maximum
grip: 5"

Nice solid Maasai seme. Meaty central ridge, thick blade sharpened at the tip 6". Would pack quite a wallop. Wooden handle and scabbard stitched into traditional red leather covering. Some old impacts and repairs to the tip, this sword's been used and came through the ordeal with flying colors and only a bit of resharpening and dent straightening. It's in excellent shape and wasn't allowed to rust as so many of these weapons were. Most robust seme I've ever owned.
