Your second knife is a Khodmi of the Berber Tribes of north Africa/Morocco/Algeria. Well made blacksmiths knives of the various Berber tribes. I have three of them. Also known as a Bou Saddi. Khodmi are very well forged knives and will take a wickedly sharp edge. Google has much info on them.

There ya go!
I'm sorry--did I put this in the wrong place? But I don't see a forum with that title also . . .
HOLY COW--there it is! Thank you SOOO much! That makes total sense because my Dad used to put in to a lot of Mediterranean ports and would visit bazarres and such--brought home lots of interesting things. Thank you!
And thanks to all of you for contributing--I know where to go if i need help in the future!

I would have guessed that too, it looked certainly African to me but not being an expert I don't like throwing out wild guesses.
