We have found that the Maasai are a very giving group of people. Many of their gifts are hand crafted by skilled artists. We have received a variety of items crafted in amazing beadwork patterns, but the men love giving their treasured pangas to other men.
A panga is a tool every Maasai man carries. Kind of like a Texan's pocket knife. They do come in handy in many situations. Ed has used it to whack off the chicken's head, cut down banana trees, and clear brush away from a water well site.
Recently, he unsheathed his authentic Maasai panga and read the imprint more closely.
This always brings a smile to the locals when he shows them it was "made in China".
