hi, its not from tibet or mongolian.
probably from some other group further east.

These blades look very much like the far east Chinese Arctic blades I saw at the Grassi Museum Leipzig . I post a photo on a thread but would not know what the tile was.

Tim Simmons · 10th February 2017, 08:03 PM

This is it. The blade form and decoration seem to fit.

What is the pattern down the fuller? Is it etched or a twist core?

THANKS AUSJULIUS,SOME ONE WILL ABLE TO TELL EXACT ORIGIN OF THESE,CHEERS

Can't help with the exact origin but can add a very similar dagger which ended recently by ebay. Overall 10", blade 5 1/2".

Tim Simmons · 12th February 2017, 11:42 AM

I cannot add a link as I have a new Apple Mac and have not mastered it. Go to youtube and enter Yakut or Evenki knives. Lots to see even one like "shakethetrees" post. Your knives have more Chinese influence.
