Hi All.
I have these three Knives which im trying to pin down.
The First is Silvermounted and I think its possibly Berber, its beautifully made.
The last two I suggest come from the same place, but Im not sure where
The Scabbard on the lastis decorated in a manner that I sometimes see on Afghan Choora Knives.
Are they Afghan or perhaps Spanish?
Thanks for any help....

I agree, North Africa for the top. I think Argentina on the bottom two?

The bottom two are Faca de Ponta (Brasil).

Hi, the two bottom knives are definitely Brazilian, tipically from northeast region of Brazil. Especifically called "Facas Nordestinas" (Northeastern Knives), or generally as "Facas de Ponta" (Pointed Knives).
