Welcome to AAPK Sharp carbon.
Your bottom knife is known as a Puukko.
How bizarre ::paranoid:: . Earlier today I posted the below information pertaining to such.
https://allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_ ... 59#p784159
Yours appears to have a little age. (That's not a bad thing)
Your leather sheath also has the four points toward the bottom to signify the four directions of the wind- North, South, East, West and is common on many Puukko sheaths.
Nice knife.
It's always important to know what you don't know.

Thank you for your response and information. My father brought this knife back from WW2. He was in the North Africa, Sicily & Italy invasions.
Don’t know how it would have gotten that far south! Lol .
Thank you again.
Best regards

Welcome to the forum. Is there something engraved on that blade on the front side under the zig zag pattern? I can’ make it out when I enlarge it.

Yes there’s something, but I can’t make out what it is.

I’m probably way off here, but seeing it makes me of a Gaucho knife. Could this have come from Spain?

I have no idea. I purchased it for $7.50 at a gun show with my father about 55 years ago. The guy I bought it from didn’t have any information about its origin.
The small bead type pommel appears to be brass.
