Hello,
I found two sets of two knives, I think its made from Laos or Burmese or Thaïland. The hilts are made in horn for ones and bone or ivory for the seconds. Its have a silver ferule and the scabbard is made with wood covered with silver. Total length :in the scabbard 8,2" just the knives 7,3" The blades 3,2" and very sharp Its was patined with black color, I cleaned its, it's possible its are a tourist souvenir, I don't know, I never seen this type of knives, its look like a very small Dha If someone can help me for the identification of its? Thanks in advance, and one more time, I'm sorry for my very bad english. Eric |

Burma? IT does look like silver mounts. I'm curious about these - would like others to comment.

Hello Eric, Although I have no idea of their place of origin I would love to see what they look like when fitted into their scabbards.

I would say Thai, based on the repousse work. Last half of the 20th c.
Nice little knives. |

Missed this one.....comparing other examples I think this one might be more likely....Lao. I would agree though, 20th century. Thanks for sharing, Eric

I think Nathaniel 's very close.
From the way they draw Naga, the pieces could be NE-Thai or Lao. The bone hilt, blade and simple decor suggested 20th cent work. |
