		I'd welcome advice on the origins of these two knives, please.  Unfortunately I only have these images: 
	The first knife is about 7 inches long, with a leather sheaf. I understand the hilt is bone. The second knife is a little shorter and the sheaf (wooden underneath) has a separate round compartment. Thanks.  |

		Your Top one is a Cretan typical hunting knife. Most come with an engraved Greek message on the blade. (mine below) Yours looks like an older version. 
	Your Bottom one is a Celanese (Sri Lanka) Pia Kaetta, a knife carried by royal courtiers.  |
