Hello Thor,
thank you.
The sewar on the far right I "love" as well, very nice carvings to the wooden parts and smooth patina. When I received it once the blade have had a strong clove smell and don't lose it after all the years.
The badik at the far right is from the Selayer island, a similar example is shown by Zonneveld on page 74, pic. 286 and was discussed here:
