The sets were advertised in the knife magazines back in the 1970's and 80's and as I recall very expensive for the time.Not sure how many were actually made but they do come up for sale occasionally. You might check e-bay to see if any have been sold there and what the going prices were.
The three daggers(I think they are Case)look like the ones commissioned by the American Commemorative Institute as a tribute to each branch of the armed services in Vietnam. There were supposed to be four of them but only one(for the Marines)was aver produced to my knowledge. I have one of them with a silver plated pewter handle.If those are for the other three branches of service they might possibly be prototypes. Could you post some closeups of the handle detail on both sides? Here is a pic of the one I have and the original ad from one of the knife magazines.

Thanks I am away from home but will post pics of the daggers when I get back.

Thanks for all the links and info. I have some reading to do.

These knives are pretty rare not much on ebay.

I am looking to sell some of them though.

You are welcome and encouraged to sell them here but to do so you’ll need to purchase a premium membership. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... scriptions It’s also accessible by clicking where it says Support AAPK on the upper right of this page. You can then list them in the Knife Commerce forum here. viewforum.php?f=31

The cost for a premium membership is very reasonable. And it’s how they keep this place running.

Exquisite is the word that pops into my mind!
