Some Pukko knives I've had for awhile, but haven't learned much about.

A couple of knives I've had for awhile, stored them and then forgot them. After recently finding them again i decided to start looking into them again. After sending a picture to a family friend who makes knives, he believes them to be Pukko knives. I will say i've seen some that lead me to believe they are, but I'm unsure on anything further. I've done some looking into stuff and some Sammi people symbols seem to match with those on the sheath. But i've yet to see sheaths that have such detail into them, along with the holes through it.

I can take better pictures which I'm sure are needed to actually see them. But if anyone has any knowledge into the knives, or could point me in the right directions I would appreciate it.

Thanks, I was pretty sure they were. I'm guessing it's quite common for them not to have any sort of makers mark, or anything like that? Well I mean if it were made by an actual member, and not a replica or mass production in a factory at least.

I like to think it's pretty old based on wear, blade coloring(?) definitely doesn't look to be new, but I can't say I know much about dating them. I tried to search and find some information on different sheath types, meaning behind symbols and such. But with the internet how it is, hard to find solid information shooting randomly online.
