Loop daggers of the Tiv people

[fearn]

Tiv loop daggers were used by archers as part of their way to draw their bows (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=16932&page=2).

It's kind of a unique draw, but the reason given for it is that sometimes they were shooting at leopards or other animals that would attack them after being shot, so having the knife in hand was considered a good thing.
