Hi David,
The Tebu daggers have slightly different blades don't they? They seem to have a double taper, changing about halfway down the blade: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...54&postcount=1 Xerg's examples have a constant taper. It looks like these daggers are everywhere. Is there a tribe in Central Africa that DOESN"T have some variant of them? Regards, Emanuel |

Hi Emanuel,
the majority I have seen do have the shaped blade you describe. Some examples.. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=tebu http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=tebu http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=tebu However, I was under the impression that there were local variants in blade shape but, due to handle/pommel characteristics being the same,they were all classed as 'Tebu' Regards David |
