Hi Justin:
  
 Your second knife with the bone/ivory handle is from Turkey, probably early 20th C. There is an identical example shown in Levine, p.481.* 
  
  Here is Levine's description:  
"About 15 inches overall. Curved blade with arabic inscription. Hook-like pommel and guard of ebony. Brass sheath. 19th-20th centuries."
  
  I know Mike D. has a copy of Levine with details of this knife. 
 
  
  Ian.
