I think it's the same like today, the wealthier persons drive expensive cars and the poor ones cheap cars!
When I look to the one with ivory handle (from hippotamus), it have a well used patination. So my guess is that it have been a dagger for every day from a rich man. In down from the sheat it is dated: 16.8.38. Maybe from 1838 or 1938, who know's?
