I recently came into these two knives but I can't find much about them, can anyone here help?

For both of these knives I want to confirm the make and model. Any other detail is also appreciated.

Knife 1 - Bob Fitlin (?)
It seems to say Bob Fitlin on the blade, but I can't find anything about him or these knives online.

Knife 2 - Tiny Spencer

I know this is by "Tiny" Spencer, a deceased Alaskan knife maker.

What is the model name or number of this knife?

Knives made in cottage shops in Pakistan and surroundings often seem to choose "classy" sounding names.

As in, "Oh my, is that a 'Spencer', Daaahhhling?" - "Why yes, dear, it most certainly is! Kindly pass the mint sauce so I can drown this rotting piece of mutton."
 
Pakistani made, don't think so.....
The Spencer does appear to be a real Rodger Spencer knife, a hunter pattern with mammoth tooth handle. Spencer made knives in Astoria Oregon in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Not sure about Bob Fitlin, but it also looks to have mammoth ivory handles.
Yep, my dad is certain that they are both mammoth (tooth/ivory) handles.

Thanks for confirming the Spencer

I stand corrected! Spencer must have been a great source of inspiration to the Pakistani knife making community then. I just got it backwards. 😎
