In Owambo societies this used to be a highly valued personal possession at the time when this particular knife was dispatched to Stuttgart. At least one knife would be carried by its owner, and especially by men, at all times. Mostly used as a multi-functional, practical tool. When needed it also provided a means of self-defence.
