The top one which looks like a bowie on steroids is a 20th C. fighting kife (Vietnam War-era bring back). The rest are more typical working/utility knives which could (and do) double for weapons very readily.

The second one is from a Montagnard group in the mountains of Laos/Northern Vietnam. The next two are fairly typical knives found mainly in rural areas of Vietnam. The last one is a Cambodian knife, also found in adjacent S. Vietnam. (Sharpened edge is towards the bottom of each picture.)

Hope this helps your friends to find some treasures for you.

Please post pictures of what they bring back.

Ian.

I HAVE PRINTED THE PICTURES AND TOMORROW I´LL GIVE THEM TO MY FRINDS!!.
THANKS
