Can someone help me with the value of these knives?

[Faceless92]

Please ignore the value part of this post. These knives are not for sale and I no longer want the value after finding out you can't ask for them.*

So, I snagged these 3 knives at a gun show. I was hoping someone could tell me the value and a little history on these knives.

The folder is an older Opinel No.8
The smaller fixed blade is a Camillus Pilot Survival Knife from the 70s I think.
The larger is a Camillus "Sword Brand" Handmade assuming from the same era.

The guy I bought it from (in his late 60s) said they were his dad's knives (maybe they are older than the 70s?) and that he had a custom sheath made for both of them. Does having a custom double sheath add or take away value from the pair?

Any help would be appreciated.

You have to be a paying member to ask for value

Oops, sorry didn't know. Well, if anyone can still tell me a little about them that'd be great too.

Thanks for the link Karda. I understand now I can't ask for value, but I'm still hoping I can get some history on the knives.

Opinel knives have been in business since 1890, and they are a thriving modern business today.
The earliest models didn't lock at all. Relatively recently the design was changed so the knives can lock closed as well as open. Your picture isn't good enough to see the lock design in detail.

Here's their company website in English: http://www.opinel.com/uk
