Though I could never prove it with this image, both of these blades are wootz.
The straight one on top, now a Kurdish kard, clearly started as the forte of a very high quality 18th century Persian shamshir and retains gold inlaid cartouches confirming the pedigree. The defect visible near the tip reflects an artifact of the technique by which these blades were forged (per Manfred Sachse: Damascus Steel).
The blade of the curved one below I have suspected began as the tip of a shamshir, though there is no evidence beyond the overall form to confirm this.
