Welcome to the forum Ade,

Sadly I have to agree with Jose and Henk, both are very recent and the one with the teeth is clearly for those who travel, unsure about the other one.

Regards,
Detlef

I would like to see some more and better pictures from the blade with concave/convex blade profile, it could be an older blade with newer handle. A convex/concave blade profile is classic for mandaus while a flat blade by such a mandau is a sign for a tourist item.
