"Mad Mahdi" Dagger

Three things pop immediately to mind, one being that many in the Sudan don't wear "belts" as such , but rather a wound sash......of what use is a "belt loop" to a person wearing a sash?
Likewise, many are just tucked into the top of boots, with the third instance being a seperate "frog" such as the turn of the century Philippine knife that I just aquired from Vern, where the "loop" is a seperate piece of leather through which the scabbard/sheath proper slides in order to be carried on a western style belt.
