Please Help Identify Asian(?) Daggers

Hello all,

My apologies for bothering you all.......... It's been a long time as I haven't posted to this board in a number of years. I'd like to start-off by saying I'm no collector of such "weapons" whatsoever and occasionally pick them up from estate sales, small auctions and the like when they're available/priced for "cheap"

With that being said... below are 3 such pick-ups. I believe all 3 are Asian(?) in origin, but I'm not 100% sure. I've only been able to "ID" the central piece as that of being from the Philippines(?) circa, 19th C. The blade is steel and the grip and its mounts are made of horn and silver (tested positive as such). It's 14 inches in length and is the largest of the group.

The other having a metal blade, with the grip being in a figural form, made from carved wood and brass.

The last has a spike-like octagonal steel blade with a carved bone(?) figural grip of a bird. It appears to once had inset stone(?) eyes but are now lost.

Can someone please help me ID the who, what, where, when, etc. of these daggers? I'd very much appreciate it and your time. Thank you all in advance! Kind regards, Jo
