They look very old but I'm not sure where there from. They have no locking mechanism and there is no maker marks that I can see. One of them has a sticker taped on it with some writing but I can't make it out. It looks like it has been there for a whil. Im afraid to remove it. The larger one seems to be made from horn because some of it is transparent. I found 18th century sailors knives that look similar but I'm not sure. The horn handle knife is 11" long and the other 9" with the sticker. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Thank you[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
