First of all Hello to everyone!

I need some help identifying a axe and a dagger (see attached images).
I did some research on the web, I think the axe is a Indo- Persian
ceremonial sagaris, dating around 18th-19th century, is this correct?

I haven't been able to find anything resembling the dagger.
It's a bit disproportional- the handle is about 2 inches long,
the blade is about 12 inches long, and the width is about half an inch.
It looks to me as if it was maybe used as means of self defense
for travelers, and not something used during a war battle.
Also I'm not sure if the bend at the end is intentional or not.

Any more info you could add will be highly appreciated, dating, use,
origin, etc'.

Thanks in advance,
Tomer

The "dagger" strikes me as a surgeon's tool

Hi Tomer.g2,

Can you post some pics of the whole axe, with handle?
It does look like it might be Indian, Indo-Persian.
