hickey and shouse pearl whittler set

[becko]

Hi I can't find any information on this set or really this brand- I have four of these knives which are obviously a set-- they are all serial numbered the same- anyway they say hickey and shouse and also battle axe brand- they have a cigar band on each and feature a diff event in history - so they are commemorative. I was trying to date them any ideas? Everything else in the pearl collection of my grandfather's is older , so i didn't know- I know they are German that's about it-- thanks in advance for any help! i know the pics aren't too good
