SAHEL DAGGERS FOR VIEWING

Here are some of my Sahel daggers that members might like to view. The 3 on the left I am not sure about , and would appreciate opinions. I have done close ups of those 3 as well. The 2 with the spear shaped blades seem to have ivory handles .

Nice collection!

But the handles are from IMHO bone, maybe camel bone?

You are probably right ... wishful thinking is a dangerous thing !

Very nice. The one on the very left looks like one of those knives thought of as Batak ? (see another thread), but the wooden sheath on yours is certainly African....
