Billao
A billao ((ソマリ語:''billaawe'')), also known as a belawa, is a horn-hilted Somali shortsword. It served most notably as a close-quarters weapon in the Dervish State, at the turn of the 20th century. ==Features== The dagger has a double-edged, leaf-shaped, asymmetrical blade and a three-pronged pommel. One-pronged pommels with the metal tang protruding out from the center of the hilt have been reported. Together, the grip and pommel are 6¾" in circumference. The billao's blade is made of iron or steel, and is 10½" long and 2½" wide.〔(Somali billao with sheath and belt )〕〔(Somali billao short sword )〕 Though other horn types are also used, the handle is typically made from the horn of buffalo.〔(Somali warrior )〕 In total, the dagger is 17¼" long.〔 The sheath is made of sheepskin, and the sword is worn on a belt around the waist.〔
