Two in one curiosity
I found this double knife at a garage sale. The handles seem to be some kind of horn. The blades are thin, and remind me of eating knives. There is a small mark on one of the blades that looks like a shrimp. If anyone has an idea of what these are and where they come from, I would love to know.

Turkey, or the Balkans ?
Maybe Greek ? The bolsters remind of Yatagans . Then there's the zig-zag decorations . |
