Giuseppe,

Those are certainly nice knives. Unfortunately I know nothing about them, but I am hoping somebody who does know about them will chime in. Nice photos, too.

Giuseppe.
What you have looks like a hunting trousse--a set of knives used to dress the carcass after the kill.

(do a search for "hunting trousse" for more examples and information)

Giuseppe Maresca-

These are impressive. Do you have further information or can you refer me to books discussing hunting knives of this period/origin? I've been doing some research lately on hunting weapons and tools and have found some interesting variations found on Italian and Spanish examples. Any input would be helpful.
