What country ?

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.

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 agree...that would be interesting to see how they fit in the little scabbard.

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.
