Correct me if I'm wrong, the blade and sheath looks like a typical Sumatran
Sewar (
siwah, siwar..etc), but the hilt is unusual. Looks more like a
sukul jering hilt form of the Pakpak Batak, Sumatra.

The 2nd item is a
beladau (your 3rd and 4th pictures). Found in Sumatra and the Riau Archipelago (includes Peninsular Malaysia).
The 3rd item is as described. One of my favorite weapon. Currently, I only have a 'dummy' to practice with. One day, I wish to have the real stuff.
