Boa Zande Warrior Sword – 22-Inch Hand-Forged African Leaf Blade | Functional & Historical Replica

The Boa Zande Sword is a faithful, hand-forged tribute to the traditional weapons used by the Boa and Zande tribes of Central Africa. Known for their unique leaf-shaped blades and cultural symbolism, these swords were historically wielded in both tribal warfare and ceremonial contexts. This 22-inch blade from Everest Forge is not just a decorative piece—it’s a real, battle-ready sword crafted for those who value heritage and performance.

Forged in Nepal by skilled artisans using 5160 high-carbon spring steel (recycled from truck leaf springs), the blade is shaped, water-tempered, and sharpened to ensure strength, flexibility, and durability. The design mirrors authentic tribal blades used for combat and ceremonial defense, while the smooth rosewood handle provides a strong and ergonomic grip. The full tang construction makes this sword capable of withstanding heavy-duty use.

From collectors and cultural historians to reenactors and outdoor enthusiasts, this sword delivers authenticity and practical utility alike.

Historical Background:

The Boa and Zande people, native to Central Africa—especially regions of modern-day Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan—crafted leaf-shaped swords not only as weapons but also as symbols of status, leadership, and tradition. Often seen in ritual combat or during tribal ceremonies, these weapons were made from locally available iron and varied in design, though the leaf shape remained iconic. Today, replicas like this preserve the legacy of indigenous African metallurgy and warrior culture.
