Nice selection of knifes you have there. The one with a curved blade is called a Bank and is is intended to be a fighting knife, probably used in a similar manner to a karambit. Yoour example may be more of a display item but is certainly old. The utility knife is commonly referred to as Kerala knife and it is still used thruhout rural India to this day. I can't comment in tge folding knife as i dont know much about it. All 3 items are likely to be from the turn of the 20th century but could newer.
