can anyone help identifying these knives ?

I recently purchased these two knives from different dealers. They were both identified as : kard - kerala daggers.

I've been searching the internet and the forum for similar pieces using the words : kard, pesh kabz, etc... I've seen all kinds of knives, but none with similar blades.

Perhaps another forumite can push me in the right direction ?

These knives have a total length of 32 and 29 cm. The sheaths are new. One bone handle has also been renewed

The blades are single-edged and have a very strong T-shaped back.

Here are some pics
