Selection of Authentic Kongo Knives

About the Item

The knives were handmade with heavily decorated Forged Iron blades with embellished wooden handles. They would use brass or leather wrappings and tacks that turned their weapons into insignia of prestige, ceremonial dance implements, and valuables used for exchange Some of the engravings were done on the heated blade. In contrast, the ones that run along the whole length were made with a sharp metallic tool on the cold blade. Warriors were widely respected for their courage in protecting the villages.
