Hi Folks,

With regard to the blades in the following pics -

I am looking for as much accurate information about the ethnic blade types shown here. I know that the top blade in first pic is a Kukri, but am no specialist in Asian and non-European blade types.
Also familiar with the FS commando knife that is seen as the lowest blade in pic 3, so no further info required for this piece is neccessary, but help with all others would be much appreciated and I know of no better forum than here to find it

If anyone here could provide info on cultural origins, approximate period, rarity (or otherwise) and approximate market value (or otherwise!), that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Macdonald
