The information I have found suggests these are cult knives and by that I did think they were non functional. I am no longer certain about the non functional idea all depends how you hold and intend to use, especially the large one which has a well formed edge to the blade. Reminds me of some of those rather odd shaped small indonesian blades. Older members might recall these examples.

Interesting Tim,
They also look like the kind of art knives that american blacksmiths make on occasion, to demonstrate how they can manipulate steel billets. F |
