As far as middle knife/dagger is concerned:
Acc to "African Arms and Armour" by Christopher Spring, ray skin was used as material for scabbards of Asante (Ghana) important sword Afena - so material known at least in the part of the wider region. But does the shape of the knife correspond with the types used in Chad ? I think it is very difficult to allocate this small dagger to some tribe (?)
Regards,
Martin
