I Let me attach photo of other long and heavy daggers (or machetes) from the southern half of Ethiopia....
All of them are completely locally made, the biggest one can measure about 70 cm. I consider them more - less contemporary (although they were made X years ago, they are still in use and local people continue to make new ones). ---Nevertheless with the exception of the three daggers in the middle of the picture, which, I think, could be least from the middle of the 20th century.
