Thank you very much for these answers.
The Semar is made of damask steel and both are very sharp. I think they could cut ropes without problems.

Hello,

I would say, these are ritual knifes. Maybe for the first shave of hair of a boy, circumcision or something like that with a religious or ceremonial context. A very sharp blade strengthen this assumption.
No toy, no tourist souvenir.
