My mother in law gave me a few old knives that her husband had before he passed last month. I only know that he had them before they were married in 1956. Any one have any thoughts? the dual blade is kind of light and almost flimsy while the curved on is very heavy.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

The double bladed one is a Katar. Probably from India or Pakistan.
