The last two photos of the dagger posted above are from Nile monitor, Varanus niloticus.  
 
The ventral scales of monitors, have a linear allignment at the abdomen with no irregular scales between them. My leather ID manual is hard to get at at the moment, but I will see if I can finde some online examples later.
