Ivory handle knife and Something Else

[surjimmy]

I came across these today and could not pass them up. Please chime in, I know the larger one it's either walrus Ivory or elephant ivory. I think the knife is older it's just been cleaned. Anyway I'm far from being an expert would love to hear what you have to say.

By the way on the coral and turquoise knife that is not tarnish that is decades of dirt that's in the crevices.

I'd say you've been raiding Viking grave sites again...you know what happened the last time you did that, the Nova Scotia poltergeists were just now settling down.

To me, they both look newer but made to look older, as fantasy pieces, or somesuch, but that is only an impression and no real reason past the larger knife blade styling and cast aluminum which is a more modern thing of last 120yrs.

I agree, I don't think The larger blade is very old but that is ivory on it that other piece I do think is old that is years and years of dirt in t.he crevices. I think it might be Tibetan or Middle Eastern

It kinda looks like something the sheikh might carry.

Maybe late 20th century Pakistani ??

That is what I am thinking too, at least the 2nd one. Made to be worn in a sash. Top one looks African to me.

The big blade screams 1930-1950’s to me based on the aluminum guard. I also believe the ivory is walrus. Possible upper pacific coast to Alaska.

The other looks Indian, as either Hindu or Muslim. Not to be confused with Native American.
