I've seen similar ones before but I don't know if they are made for selling purpose or for local use.
The third one is very, very nice, I like this blade and the handle as well. Sadly the scabbard is missing, it would be worth it to let made a new one for it.

Thank you, Sajen
I'm very happy with your comments.
It's basically the same as my own perception of them. I also think the third one is the best, followed by the first one, and the second one is a lower grade.
It's a pity that we don't have a craftsman here to make a scabbard for Kris, otherwise I would have liked to make a suitable scabbard for him.
