It depends how do you look at them.

They all have strongly curved blades with central rib.
They all have similar koftgari, in terms of geometry and style.
They all have similar I-shaped ivory hilts...
... so they are similar.

Mine is much larger and has a broader blade.
Mine has on one side some writing.
Mine has a hilt with some strangely oriented protrusions...
... so they are different.

Take your pick!
