I'm cool with cow!

How would this type of dagger be worn? Is it a type of arm dagger? Is there a proper name for this type of knife? Do you think I have the age right? Sorry about all the questions!

It's a belt dagger. Only terms I know for this are KARRA' (Tigrai & Eritrea) and CHIUVE' (Sidamo). I think the Amhara use the term KARRA' as well, but I am not positive.
