Looks like a villager version and a mini WWii. The small knife in the sheath is the Karda, kind of a utility knife, and the blunt one is the chakmak meant to steel the blade sort of like one would do with a butchers knife. Both are mostly decorative.

They have a convex edge so if you sharpen it be sure to maintain that. Mine all came with a rough edge that needed some serious refining but once done they can do some serious woodchopping even on dry African hardwoods with barely a nick in spite of "soft" zone tempered
truck spring blades.
