Konda Sword – 25-Inch Hand-Forged African Machete Sword | Traditional Functional Replica 

The Konda Sword is a powerful representation of Central African heritage, once wielded by warriors and tribal leaders throughout the Congo and surrounding regions. These distinctive machete-like weapons were traditionally used in both battle and ceremonial contexts. Known for their wide blades and symbolic engravings, Konda swords were not only practical tools but also carried deep cultural meaning—often signifying status, authority, and identity within the tribe.

At Everest Forge, we honor that legacy with this 25-inch functional replica, hand-forged in Nepal using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Crafted from recycled 5160 high-carbon leaf spring steel, this blade is water-tempered and sharpened to ensure real-world performance. The full tang construction is paired with an 8-inch rosewood handle for strength, balance, and control, making it suitable for both collectors and practical users.

Historical Background:

Konda swords originated among the Konda people and other tribes of Central Africa, particularly in regions that are now part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Unlike standardized military swords, these weapons varied in shape and size, reflecting the individuality of the blacksmith and the customs of the community. While some versions were used for chopping and defense, many were reserved for ceremonial use or symbolic displays of power, often carried by chieftains or warriors of rank. The form of the Konda sword with its flared blade and robust construction made it an iconic piece of African blade culture.
