    The antler-hafted knife would look dandy in your hose, with that broken tine hooked over the edge.
    The other one...not so much. Too much curve. It would make an odd-looking bulge at the front of your shin, and possibly wreck your hose. Drawing it would be quite problematic, and if it can't be withdrawn safely, what's the point?

    The first appears to be a Jambia. You could probably take it over to Swordforum and get more info on it.
