The 1st knife is one of my favorites, but I don't know it's country of origin. It has a wire wrap and metal cap hilt and a scabbard covered in some kind of skin.
The 2nd I know even less about.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

hello spaffo, if the lenght of your fantasy-dagger is around 300mm you have a good chance the blade is from a swiss bajonett mod. 18 . just a idea of mine! best regards iskender

Thanks Kronckew and Iskender,
Post 12 knife has a full tang but no grooved pommel. I don't have them here to check.
Nice catch by Iskender on the fantasy piece. The blade is almost identical to my M1918 Schimdt-Ruben K31 bayonet.
Thanks all
Bryce
