I am wondering: the last picture on the very bottom: is it a Beduin pseudo-shashka? Also, same pic, on the left, looking like shashka ( can't see the handle): what is it? Nice Yataghan, too....
I might hire O.J. to raid your place (all these knives belonged to him anyway , even though they do not fit )

Oh, I can see it clearer now ( always good to know that something is NOT what you thought ). The one on the left is a Pedang I ( Peudeung for the purists ) from Sumatran Battaks.
