One more from Rawson
This knife is attributed to the Abor people but is also found among the Mishmi. The sheath is again open-faced, wooden and with metal bands. There is again a wooden lip on the side of the sheath that corresponds to the spine of the blade.

Very nice photograph Robert. I have taken the liberty of enlarging the two knives in your picture, the one on the guy in front and the one in back. The bands across the scabbard appear to be solid metal strips in each case (rather than several wraps of wire).
