The longest blade is 10.5" long x 2.75" wide, with a very thin blade(machete thick), and the other blade measures 9.5" long x 2" at it's widest with a thick spine of 1/4" at the spine.
The cutting edges are facing down.
Any help would be appreciated.
the shapes are both typical cambodian knife shapes. i would say they are cambodian products. just household knives. not for woodworking.
