Hello Alexis,

Welcome to the forum!

The piece with the fittings from light wood is a khukuri(-type) blade (dressed in pseudo-Moro fittings).

It would be good to see larger pics of all other blades including a close-up of the base of the blade.

I'm afraid that the fittings (and possibly blades) are not Moro but rather originate from Indonesia: Probably Madurese carvers - where did you obtain these?

Regards,
Kai
