Double Tuareg knives
The only such pair of Tuareg knives that I have seen. Would be interested if anyone else has a similar example. This pair seems to have some age, perhaps late 19th C.

Batak double knives
The only pair of these knives I have seen. Hard to assess age, but they do not appear to be very old.

Items found on Oriental Arms site
OTTOMAN DOUBLE KNIVES
OTTOMAN TRIPLE KNIVES INDO-PERSIAN DOUBLE KNIVES These two knives are not a match and I suspect that the T-bladed one is a replacement for the original twin. The plain blade on the other knife is wootz. Last edited by Ian; 18th February 2024 at 01:44 PM. |

Ian, this style of work, which is often found on arm daggers that look similar in general shape and construction to your double daggers, is associated with the city of Bida in Nigeria. Tuareg inspired, but not Tuareg technically.

Lovely example also TK!
Do the two hilts have a mechanism to lock them together, converting the twin daggers into a single dagger? |
