What are the sizes of yours and, are all three unsharpened?
From the photographs, the two larger pieces seem to be very well made and if not sharp, at least intendend to BE sharpened and look like nicely made weapons intended for real use.

Mike:
The photos were taken on a grid of 1" squares(my usual method to denote size;I should have stated that before)and yas all three are unsharpened.
They were obtained from 3 different sources over the years.The first was given to me by a friend who used to purchase military collections and dump everything else at flea markets and such.The other two were obtained at other flea markets ostensibly as letter openers.I don't think I paid more than a couple dollars each for them.
This person also had a large assortment of Phillipino and African knives that I acquired a few of including a couple of swords made entirely of water buffalo horn (obviously for the tourist trade).
