That top knife is a custom designed fantasy dagger, meaning the customer told the sword maker what he wanted and the craftsman made it.
I.e. it is a bespoke dagger. I'm pretty sure there are no true daggers (historically ) that looked like that.
The second one I believe is an exaggerated leaf blade modeled after short swords of the bronze age.
It long predates by more than 1000 years the short swords used by soldiers of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, which had straight blades.
