I know very little about these so any comments would be appreciated.

sorry for your friend, but both knife are new brand, not a "tourist traps", but manufactured for touristic trade
it's nice to help the local workmanship, your friend did a good action by those purchases
Just to give you an idea of an old one, here from my collection a "loï bo" traditional Targui / Reguiba knife (area; South Algeria, North Mali, Niger, South East Marocco, Berber natives)
