Beautiful pieces. Do you know where were their blades made?

Hi, I am a bit confused. I always thought that these camel bone koummyas were tourist pieces from about 1940 and onwards. Also, they do not appear in the literture I know about koummyas.
Typical for the camel bone pieces I have seen so far are the poor silver work and especially the low quality blades, like the one shown by Kubur (sorry).
However, ALL the pieces shown by Corrado26 have good quality blades (though a bit different from the stadard), the quality of the work is good in general and they even seem to have some age. Can someone inlight me?

By the way, the blades and design are so similiar in all the daggers that they are probably from the same area/workshop.
