Marius is correct. These are typical Shan silver work. Could be late 19th or early 20th C, although these knives are still being made today. These slim, highly ornate knives were often used as part of a man's wedding attire. The blades are of highly variable quality. They are mainly intended for show these days.

Of course Marius and Ian are correct, these are Shan daggers!
