Thanks for the info.
Salampasu is just not the first word that came to my mind.
With this word and some googling I notice that these swords are amazingly uniform in size, form and decoration.

The tails appeear to be very original to the word. In fact these are 3 tails.
The black one appears to be an actual complete tail (skin without the bone)
The brown ones I am not sure, maybe they ar put together by strips of fur.

Did they (the Salampasu, is it the tribes name) make shields too?
