I learned something on my recent hunt in Niassa. I got down from the Land Cruiser as the guys needed to cut a tree that had fallen across the track we were on and started to get their axes. I noticed 2 different styles. See below. One was a local design and the other. From Zim as one of the trackers was Zim a different style. I asked the PH and the bottom one apparently Zim. The other N Moz. Interesting
