I was very taken when I saw these pass in an auction recently. Advertised as Ivory daggers from Norway or similar from memory. Approx 8 inches long if I recall and are silver mounted too. Overall very gorgeous pieces.

Sure they could be used as a dagger but to me I think the more resemble fids.

I would be interested to hear any views on these interesting items.
