Hi Jimmy,
I am enclosing cca 5 years old photo from the small market with souveniers infront of one hotel in Maroua, Extreme North Cameroon (and not far from the Nigerian mountinous borderland). As you can see, the top spearhead was made with similar method (crossing point between the neck and the blade). Maybe your something (dagger) was made from spearhead (is the handle hollow ?). In any case, as Iain said already, the termination "button" is very charakteristic for that region.
I think No 2. is comming from South Seas, but not Asian. I am thinking about Guinea Gulf. I bought sometning similar in Nigeria, but I have not photo with me now.
Martin
