Plantation Knives

Two old fixed blade knives used for harvesting tea and other crops. The Marples c1870s and never seen the Spider stamp before. If you have any information on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Bernie Levine's forum is a good place to ask, s-k; that is if you don't get the answer here. Being a hawkbill fan, I like these knives! Cool!

Thanks guys.

Sorry I don't really know. They both seem to taper from top to bottom but the surface seems flat. I'm not sure that answers the question.
