Easy one-it's called a seme, and it's a traditional weapon used by the tribesmen of Kenya, the Masai and other tribes.
The rudimentery grip shifts the weight of the blade to the sweet spot just aft of the point.
It's a cutting sword, but may be used for thrusting sometimes.
In the Mau-Mau rebellion, it was a common sidearm for the tribal fighters, along with the panga, a curved jungle knife.

You know there are two kinds of tears. Tears for those who leave you and tears for those who you never let go.
