Naga Daggers

Hi Gavin

As far as I am aware, the Nagas didn't really use daggers, but I could be wrong. From memory, I can recall seeing a Naga spearhead with the socket bound in red rattan, in a wooden sheath open to one side like for a dao. Have no images though.

There is an image of a knife in the Oldman catalogue reprint, but it is described as "Khamti".
