MY GRANDPA PASSED AND HE INSTRUCTED ME TO SELL THESE KNIFES, AND IM SO LOST WITH IDENTIFYING THEM
Re: PLEASE HELP
No offense meant, but none of those are high dollar.
If they belonged to my grandfather I would keep them.
I would love to have a knife of my grandfather.

Welcome to the AAPK!
I must say edge213 is right. If those belonged to your grandfather, you should keep em. You might get a few bucks for them but nothing near what you will lose. IMO.
If you still want more information, you must take pictures of each knife individually. Especially of any & all stamps at the base of the blades. Open the blades to 90° to see & take complete pictures of the stamps. These will tell more about the makers & the ages of the knives. I can't help much with dates or values but others here can with the right pictures.

Re: PLEASE HELP
Agree with David and Tom , keep em or pass onto another family member . Wish Gramps would’ve left my brothers and I them , can’t buy memories. The knives are great EDC , Some one will be happy to tote those!
A big Welcome as well, hope to see you stick around , Do you collect or Accumulate as some of us here do? Knives, guns , etc,.

Re: PLEASE HELP
It looks very much like ones that I have had that were made for Valor, C.I. Industries and several others. Most likely made by Seizo Imai during the 80’s. It’s not the high quality ones that Master Imai made for his own line of knives. If you can find some other knives like this made by one of those companies, it will give you a little bit of info on the knife. Those don’t bring much money unfortunately.

Re: PLEASE HELP
Keep them. Carry a different one everyday until you pick a favorite. Grampa knew the value of a good knife.

Re: PLEASE HELP
im passing them down to my brother, he wasnt a nice man to me, i truly dont want them, i kept my grandmothers though
Re: PLEASE HELP
abraden, I think you made a wise choice. We live in a fallen world and often the persons who should be precious to us are not. I am sorry for your history but passing them on seems like a very thoughtful idea.

Re: PLEASE HELP
The first one is a Jos. Rodgers "His Majesty" bone handle pen knife. Dates to first part of 1900's. J.R. was The Top British knife maker but as both blades are worn down, value is low, maybe $30-$50 max on a good day.
There were a great many lock back knives made in Japan in 1970's-1980's. Value of all of them is low. No need to try to ID it any further.
Old Case knives can be valuable depending upon condition. If you show the Case knives with blades open and show tang markings clearly, Case collectors here can tell you age and value.
