I'm new here but I am interested in African knives and knifemakers.

I've got a Shaka branded skinning knife and axe - I think these were handmade either in Zimbabwe or South Africa. Does anyone know anything about the brand?

I've also got a custom knife, that I bought in Bulawayo Zimbabwe, with an elephant ivory handle made by "I. Ngwenya" - does anyone know anything about him?

I also read that there are still some knife makers still in Zim - are there any on this board?

Thanks, tatenda, ngiyabonga...
