I bought both these knives at a antique shop for like 30$ and i have no idea if they are worth anything,
The handle on the bigger knife (older looking one) is made of ivory, and there are no text or anything..
Anyone have a hint ?? :-X

Real ?? You mean are they knives,, that's what I am pretty sure they are !! (Joke) Just kidding !!
The first one with the X in the blade are those little dots slotted screws I see ??

i,m confused....you buy them...then ask us if they are worth anything....next time ask first before spending anymore of your $$

LOLOL If you can pick them up and buy them...they are real! :)
Now, if they hold value...yes.
Now, what kind of value...need more answers and better close up pics! :)

Pardon us for our sloppy manners. Welcome to the group...hope you continue to partake.
Your knives are interesting. I'd guess maybe originally from India or thereabouts.

Rauville is right !! Excuse our poor manners and welcome to the group !! Haven`t been to the intro forum yet !!
As to the knives,, the blade on the top one is very poorly made and doesn`t look like it has ever had an edge. Haven`t enlarged the others yet but I think these may be tourist items intended as souveniers or shipped here to be sold in import shops !! Do they have anything written on the blade or anywhere ??

Welcome swedekeeles Happy to have you join us!! Many of us have been on this forum for many years and we are like family so we get a little silly with the jokes sometimes! ;) I tend to agree with mart these appear to be tourist items but nice for display! Please post better close up pics as KC has suggested maybe I missed something.

Hello, sorry for my bad english.. i meant they don't look "Fake" or whatever its called,
the dots are not screws just decorative "holes" and forgot to mention the handle is made of ivory.

I only bought them for like 30$ so they are not expensive, and i mostly bought them because i like them, but always nice to know if they're worth anything :)

Thank you for the warm welcome! Nothing is written on them as far as i can se other than the markings, ill try to get better closeups.

Please forgive me for having fun with the wording!!! My Bad! Feeling a little too jovial!
They do appear as tourist or decorative items from the pictures posted.
The bottom line is...do you like them! That is where the true value in a piece is.
And would need better close ups to determine if there is more monetary worth to the items!

unless you got a certificate...with the "ivory"handled knife....proving that it is not . elephant ivory...then its most likely bone..as it is illegal to sell elephant ivory..without, permits, however there are lesser restrictions on walrus ivory....furthermor e...as you only paid $30...i,d be inclined to believe that its either bone or faux ivory....
