New Item in Knobkerrie Collection Ndebele Tribe

Pardon Me but is this a knobkerrie at all?

I have had a couple of these and I have seen them described as " Talking Sticks"

A search for talking stick Ndebele reveals several of these items for sale on line, all of which seem to have the function of being used in a conference of a group of people to be passed to the speaker, which , to me, doesn't seem to have a common origin with a weapon. But maybe you can clarify it for me.
