From a great article on the hunga munga:
The “Hunga Munga” or Mambele originates from Africa, and is a genre of knives which were used in both hand-to-hand combat, and for throwing over long distances.
Did some light reading, looks like they’re originally from the Mangbetu people of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. But spanned as far as the northern sections of the Nile River in their use.
