Hi David,

The Tebu daggers have slightly different blades don't they? They seem to have a double taper, changing about halfway down the blade: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...54&postcount=1 Xerg's examples have a constant taper.
It looks like these daggers are everywhere. Is there a tribe in Central Africa that DOESN"T have some variant of them?

Regards,
Emanuel
