Title: Banned Razor-Sharp Wrist Knife
Description: Turkana Tribe, Kenya, a wrist knife with razor-sharp edge protected by a leather sheath, called an ararait. These were made in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but were banned by the British because they were lethal in close combat. Adolfo Bartolomucci, African Currency (Milan, 2012), p. 206, considers them to be a form of currency.
