knife7knut, cn I ask a question or two?
What are the sizes of yours and, are all three unsharpened?
From the photographs, the two larger pieces seem to be very well made and if not sharp, at least intendend to BE sharpened and look like nicely made weapons intended for real use.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that what is usually seen on the tourist market didn't, like so many others. originally was a very real working knife for a certain class of people.

Montino Bourbon, I've got to find mine before I can give you the whole title, but it's a collector's guide book of knives and weapons from several years back that even gave the average going price at the time of its printing.
Mike
