A few years back I kindsorta inherited these after my Grandfather passed away. He owned them and I recall he worked on them or made the handle/grips?
If anyone knows anything about these please reply, just curious. Thanks.

The bottom looks like an Old Hickory brand knife. Not sure of the top one.

Ditto on the Old Hickory. I have one sitting in a kitchen drawer. ˜o idea on the top one.
Thanks...
Still wondering on the top knife?
JL
How about a close up of the maker's mark on the top knife. Any other marks? It looks like a Sheffield made knife but cant say with out more details. Is the handle stag?
Yes...the handle/scales are natural antler. The stamped mark/marker? Is "Lyon" with a cirlcle or circled.
The AOL is 10.75" the blade is 6.25".
Thanks.
Got close shots.

I cant find any information on that maker. I did find a book that would probably verify if it is a Sheffield maker. I'd like to have the book but I'm not ready to spend the money on it yet. I think it's a Sheffield maker though. The link to the book is below.
