Kinda like alligator boots (seen often in these parts), and of course many types of leatherwork, our shoes are leather etc. I see your point though, and they do look pretty revolting/scary....as noted, that was the purpose. Many weapons were intended to present a bit of psychological edge, as well have seen in so many cases.
I've really never seen one quite this dramatic, and this one I'm pretty sure the wives wouldn't want around the house. From an ethnographic standpoint, an outstanding example. It seems that crocodiles were once mummified in Egypt/Sudan in ancient times as they were key in many of the deities I believe, cannot recall details offhand.
