Nice kindjals. In my opinion, they are all Balkan, the first two potentially Bulgarian. I am basing the attribution on the hilt shape and construction of the first one. The second one has the date, which is followed by a Cyrillic "г", which stands for "година" or year in Bulgarian. There are photos of 3 different kindjals. The third one has a distinctly Greek floral motive on the blade, as you have pointed out, but this is a third separate piece unless I am missing something.
