Have you tried taking it to a grindstone, regardless of your smithing ability, I believe that it will tell your the type of ingots required to improve then, therefore telling you the material necessary for making, and improving Dragon Priest Daggers. I would guess that they are likely Corundum or possibly Dwarven. Bronze or Gold are out of the question, as they are too soft a metal for weaponry.
