Nice, and beautiful hardening line on the center one. I'm wondering whether the one on the far right is showing a hardening line or whether it's a trick of the light?
Probably the light as the top pic shows that it still has the factory finish if I'm not mistaken.

with that most recent one (to the right). Look how the thin fuller goes under the bolster? Awesome minor detail. The only one of its kind.

Without some reference, they look pretty short. They almost look JKM sized. How wide is the blade? It looks like it's an inch or so in the pics but I know that's probably incorrect.

Hi, Yerik:
Most likely not. It is more of a reversed sharpened tanto than a gladius, but the striaght triangle cut point may lead one to believe this to be the source. There are some modern seax/styled blades, like the wharncliffe or hawkbill.
This style with the straight clipped point is commonly called a "Broken Back Seax", and was most commonly found among the Anglo-saxons and Saxons (folk for the Seax -- Seaxons). The other european tribes used a more rounded approach to the clip point.
In the size reporoduced, here, this weould be a large general utility and camp version of a seax, which could also be a backup weapon. Seaxes in the 30-inch range are called langseaxes, and they were fierce and thick chopping blades.
Some old seaxes have a bit of forward curve to them like a Yangatan or Flyssa, perhaps to increase chopping potential.
Some later seaxes evolved and became indistinguishable from other single-edged knives of the period, like scottish dirks or ballock daggers.
The seax can be thought of as the Anglo-Saxon Bowie/survival knife.
