<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 342116, member: 54"]Much better photos, thanks. I’m no knife expert either but I’d lean toward this being a tourist souvenir item rather than something made for use in Sudan. It doesn’t show much age and the fact that the blade is two-tone I take as a more modern thing. Pretty much all the older blades I see from third-world countries are all bare steel. Fact that sheath doesn’t fit well may mean leather shrank after sheath was made, maybe a sign of maker being in a hurry. But then again I’m not well-qualified in this specific area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
