African blades!

Got these two from a friend and he didnīt know much about them.... Unfortunately, I do not either....
My guess, is that the arm knife came from Sudan but I am not sure....
Please, any help at all should be very much appreciated.....

The top one is an ararait or wrist knife and is a specialized weapon usually associated with the Turkana Tribe in Kenya (East Africa).

The second is a bit harder, though I do wonder about a Masai origin, perhaps a knife length seme?
