Interesting African dagger. Unusual Shona?

Very sharp eye about the Fang. I think that you are right and the scabbard is Fang. What about the wirework? It looks Shona or Northern Nguni.I have not seen a weapon from Congo with wirework. Blade looks like Shi people a litlle bit.

Another example, nearly identical to the one of zalmoxis, of fang scabbard and knife (the scabbard is covered with snake skin) from Spring.
