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? |
