The Kukri is a commercial item made for export in India of decoration or 'souvenir' quality only. Circa 1970s.
These are unbelieveably common and not generally worth saving, but some earlier ones have 'better' blades (the later ones being untempered plated rubbish), so a light clean might be worthwhile if you fancy using it for ..... anything?

The Rodgers belt knife could be as old as around WW2. A good standard british sheath knife that was in production for many years. Worth cleaning up to use for camping whittling etc.
