Thanks for the additional closeup photos of the knives. I think it is pretty easy to see the quality of the work and if I am not mistaken the execution of the shape and form of the knives (not just the engraving) looks a little "off" as well.

Personally I find it fascinating that a "weapons for tourists" industry sprang up so quickly and from outside the ethnic origins of the weapons themselves.
