North or West African dagger for ID

Hello dear members,

I've just purchased this West to North African dagger but I am unsure about the exact origin, the only similar example I've found is listed here: http://www.memoire-africaine.com/armes2.html and described as Touareg dagger but I doubt a little bit that this description is correct. Is someone able to confirm this description or know it better?

Thank you very much in advance, first picture is from the seller and show the dagger in question, the second picture is from the above given site. The dagger in question is 34 cm inside it's scabbard.
