Originally, the knives called Nifo'oti in Samoa, were modelled on European knives used for cutting sugar cane. They were made of wood and were used as combat weapons in the often violent and bloody conflicts within Samoa since the early 19th century. This specimen has a metal blade and was imported from England. Rings of plant fibre on the handle of the knife are attached either for decoration or to reinforce the handle.
