Discover the Kpinga: Central Africa's unique throwing knife-axe! 🔪 Used by the Azande people, this Mambele variant featured a long, curved, boomerang-like blade. Warriors carried 3-4 behind oblong shields, tossing 2-4 spears before unleashing the Kpinga at 10 meters. Its three-bladed design ensured a strike! More than a weapon, the Kpinga was a "court metal" – a status symbol and part of a man's dowry. #Kpinga #AfricanWarfare #HistoryShorts #Craig #AzandePeople #ThrowingKnife #AfricanWeapons #TraditionalWeapons #CentralAfrica #Mambele #TribalWarfare #WeaponHistory #AfricanCulture #IndigenousWeapons #StatusSymbol
