Default My Tebu / Daza Arm Dagger

Here is my arm dagger, attributed to the Daza people who reside in southwestern Chad (fringe of the Sahara) and Niger. I'm told that the sheath's split "snake tongue" shape is relatively rare and indicates this is a "sultan dagger". I've read through the other threads and can't find any discussion of this split sheath style. Any ideas?

Hi Dave
never saw, and never listen to, about "snake tongue",
what could looks as a fish tail, also (sign of prosperity)

I know the name for this type of dagger "loï bo",
they come from Chad, as you explained , more precisely, from "Tibesti",
massive mountains covering part of South Libya, South Algerian Sahara, and North Niger
according with what I listened to on spot (I resided for 6 years in these parts)
the metal part pointed of the handle, possibility to use as weapon in fight (movement back),
but in fact, more usefull to remove thorns from bushes

here 2 with me, the biggest is more or less recent (20th C.)
the other it's a "venerable dagger" (19th C.), may be for woman, due to his dimensions
is all what I know about the subject, sorry if I can tell you more
