Two beautiful thouma jambiyas. Jambiya in the first photo due to the rough work and reddish hue (high copper content) it seems rather late to me.
In this case, this jambiya is most likely from Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
The second one is of much higher quality and, I think, from the Hadhramaut region (according to the style of the handle design). Both are very dirty, if they are cleaned, they will make a much better impression, and the first one will completely lose the reddish tinge of copper and nothing will give away its low social origin
