Italian? Looks like a German Hubertus, unless it's an Italian copy of a Hubertus.

Looks like an old production 165 Old Timer Woodsman, from when Schrade was still a US knife manufacturer. USA Schrade closed its doors in 2004 and re-opened as a Chinese-manufactured company. More info available here: https://www.knife-depot.com/learn/old-timer-knives/

Can't see them.

That is a Steve Brooks knife. He is (was?) a knifemaker based out of Montana, and was still alive as of the last Knives annual I own (2004). That should be enough to get you started on a detailed search, though.

A.G. Russell and Knives Ship Free both sell quality sheaths: http://agrussell.com/accessories/sheaths https://www.knivesshipfree.com/sheaths/

I agree with John about 5160's rust resistance. One of the spec sheets I consulted called 5160 a "carbon-chromium spring steel" and said "Weldability is poor in this alloy due to its high carbon and chromium content." Yet the chromium content is only at 0.7-0.9, which seems low compared to that...

The Russell Green River company has always sold short-bladed butcher knives. Here is an old illustration, with blades listed as short as 5": Texas Knifemaker's Supply and other companies still sell Green River butcher patterns with 4.5" blades to this very day. The Butcher knife is not...

I'd agree that's a spey shape, but the spey is associated with slipjoint folders; in a fixed blade like that, I'd call it what it is - - a butcher pattern.

That's gorgeous.

Arturo Longoria, who writes the Woods Roamer blog, lives on the Texas/Mexico border and has a lot to say about various machete brands, and he alters them to his own requirements: http://woodsroamer.blogspot.com/search?q=machete Great blog for learning about survival in that desert border...

+1 on John's comment. That is Dan Winkler/Karen Shook-quality work.

My own Buck 112 looks just like that one, save that I had my initials engraved on the bolster.

Check out Scottish sgian dubh knives, which are usually single-edged.

A.G. Russell's Sting is a perfect example of a classic boot knife, and he currently sells a half-dozen or so variations, some very nice indeed: http://agrussell.com/search?query=sting I have one of the old Western boot knives that I bought in the early 1980's: If I had to hazard a guess I'd...

Looks like a medieval billhook.

+1 on the BK5. I have one myself. It always reminds me of Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan knife, for some reason. :) To me it's probably the best of all the Becker-designed knives.

If we don't carry large knives in appropriate places - - hiking in the wilderness, fishing on boats or ashore, on active duty in the military in war zones - - it's because we've acquired the habit of surrendering our freedom to authority figures, a sad state of affairs for Americans. There's a...

Even Bill Moran had an Opinel, which he gave the Moran treatment of silver-wire inlay and walnut stain - - it's in one of the Knives annuals edited by Ken Warner back in the 1980's.

Opinel also sells unfinished, carvable handled knives; a portfolio of some of the carvings done with them can be found here: http://michel.montlahuc.free.fr/lgerdil.htm

A short sword of the Cinquedea type was carried by the Númenoreans in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, and is mentioned in the notes to The Disaster of the Gladden Fields (Unfinished Tales): Then in haste he [Isildur] cast off all his armour and weapons, save a short sword at his belt, and...
