Throwing knife of the Matakam of North-Cameroon Sold

Too heavy to be effectively thrown, this type of arm was used solely as a hand weapon and as an item used for swagger, both by young man and adults.

 No man would leave his house at night without one to keep stray-dogs at bay.

 This sound example dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
