The top one in the first picture below has a thin but solid blade, and bears a maker's mark of some kind (could simply say "made in China"). It also has some rectangular marks that could suggest what the steel once was part of (like when you can still discern the pattern that reveals a blade was made from an old file).  
 
The bottom knife has a spine that is about 1/4" thick. It is shaped like a kukri blade, but the bottom edge is sharpened, which would be backwards on a kukri.  
 
So, do these have a place in my collection, or my kitchen?
