Bollocks dagger or kidney dagger is my first (and for the moment only) assosiation too.

I could see something armour piercing from the Sahel or parts of West Africa with Islamic influences?
 Nice.

Hello,
I bought similar dagger from Touaregs near Ghadames (Libya) in 2002. The Touaregs were from Niger ("Ifoghaz" Touaregs). The blade should be made of old European bayonet. Martin |

In my opinion these weapons are not made from bayonets. On close inspection there is such variation in shapes, sections, straightness and many other subtleties. This is my latest and you can see at the tip that this is forged locally.
I pay top dollar but it love me long time.
