Ideas on these 3 pieces?

[G. McCormack]

A few recent internet purchases. I can of course take some more pics.

The first dagger has a laminated blade, good steel, well cut fullers, inlaid copper-alloy dots, and a plain wooden handle. I'm at a bit of a loss...my best guesses would be similar to a khodmi or genoui? Or something else similar from North Africa?

This short sword is some sort of S.E.A. parang, I'd guess, but after that I'm not sure. Lovely laminated blade has been shortened, and overall has the appearances of a cut down Japanese sword..but I rather think its not. White brass or nickle-silver handle, hardwood scabbard with a few rattan wraps left. It appears there was more to the scabbard that has been lost.

A smallish Phillipine knife of sorts, this third piece is well made but simple, and has I'm nearly certain a carved oak handle. Maybe part of a European crate or something? Forgewelded iron collar.


Any insights would of course be appreciated!
