Though as I say the 'dagger' has a hollow handle and I think it is actually a spear blade.

The longer piece - the leather work makes me think of a Scottish dirk, perhaps an attempt at a recreation by someone?

The shorter piece, should be from SE Asia, I'm sure a member will be along shortly with an exact ID. I've seen these before just can't recall the tribal attribution!

The knife / spear with hollow handle and open sheath is Philippine Igorot (mountain people); more to be found here

The other dagger seems to suggest vernacular Scottish or an attempt at same; surely worth investigating, unfortunately forgeries are abundant.

I will post the dirk-like one in the European section

The dagger with the hollow handle is a hinalung from the Igorot people, Luzon, Philipines.

The dirk looks Scottish to me. Very nice one.
