One has an edge to it, while the other is duller than a butter knife. Does anyone know what these two smaller blades are for?

I'm going to hopefully find someone who can fashion out a leather (cowhide) sheath for both blades, because I don't want to damage the original sheaths. They're too dang pretty.

Those (the sheaths) I'd put under glass, but the knives themselves are going to be used.
You do realize that once they are unsheathed they must draw blood before being resheathed or they become cursed........
