Sahara daggers "telek"

[Tim Simmons]

I used to like these especially the long Tuareg? form. The only one I have left, which I kept as metal keeps better than the rather delicate goat leather. Is a Nupe? among other peoples example. Typical Bida workmanship.

Hi Tim, should be Nupe from Bida. But that doesn't mean they didn't export them for Tuaregs!
