Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Two Moroccan Daggers... one new, one less so

A friend just brought these back for me from a recent trip. The upper knife is brand new sold in heaps at tourist traps. The blade is clearly ground with a dremal type tool.
The lower knife is older (my friend said she bought it quite far off the beaten path). The workmanship on the brass and leather sheath is beautiful. The blade is file finished and is laminated. The pictures don't show it very well but the blade edges are a lighter colored steel than the rest of the blade.
I know very little about these so any comments would be appreciated.
