Someone on Sword Forum posted about an estate sale, which he neglects to mention so much as where it is being held. Among the info he did post was the picture at the bottom. Here is the whole thread.

At first glance it looks to be a good collectors piece. The thing I find interesting is the method of carrying the torture knives (or knife as the case may be). Or they may have put it there to show that the knife is complete.

Rather suspicious that there are no pictures of the blades. The top pic isn't a khuk, so the karda doesn't belong with it.

Nice handle work on the bottom one.

And, no way the karda/chakma were carried that way.

I'm saying all this like I know what I'm talking about, so it would probably be best to ignore it.
 
The top pic looks like an Indian knife to me, but what do I know?;) That is, a knife made in India so as to not confuse.:)
