Would like to find out information about these two knives? Both are about 7 in long one is stamped, REHWAPPEN SOLINGER ROSTFRE (I) i think this last is an I not sure. the other has marks on it but can not determan what language. May need help posting pics

"REHWAPPEN SOLINGER ROSTFRE (I)" is probably ___WAFFEN SOLINGEN ROSTFREI. "WAFFEN" means "arms" in German, SOLINGEN is the city the blade was made in Germany, and ROSTFREI means "stainless" in German.

Beyond that, we need pictures.

Worked! The top one is a traditional German knife called a jagdnicker. It looks to have a stag handle. Nice knife.

The bottom one looks kinda "tourist trinket."

Thanks any way to find out where the bottom is from?

Depends on what you mean by "from." It may have been made in one place to be sold in another place. It appears to cheap souvenir. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's the "traditional" knife of anywhere except maybe a "tiki" bar.

The jagdnicker is nice though.
