I just picked this up and would like any information on it. Year of manufacture (I’m guessing the 90’s?) ballpark figure?
Were these common? What steel?
I like it, very nice knife selection (size wise) for a combo.
Thank you in advance.

Nice find. That set shows up in the 1996 catalog, so your guess as to date is probably pretty good. Finding Western knives in good condition is good, a nice sheath, and the box as well? That's remarkable. The knives themselves are pretty common, the combo set is somewhat scarce. They are probably 440C Stainless.
Take a look at page 18:
