Brass and silver inlay is found on axes from Sudan. Here is an image of one, I believe the source is Auctions Imperial and hopefully Oliver would not mind me posting it here:

You are absolutely right though that this type of decoration is quite rare on kaskara blades. I was able to find this blade, which has inlay, and that is about all I know of:
