Any help would be greatly appreciated in identifying the maker of these knives. I acquired them from a family member and have no information on them. The only marks on the knives is a flower. They appear to be quality blades. Any ideas? Thanks.

One more bit of advice, if you will? If I were to put these up for sale, what would be better? By the piece or as a collection?

When did he start putting gold in his mark? Or does it depend on the knife?

I don't know the answer to that, I am lucky enough to have one Fogg.
Maybe someone else knows..STeven or Joss ?

I had one like the 3rd from the top. If it's similar to mine, it's a very stout, heavy blade. Mine was made by Don out of a bulldozer blade...

Like others have said, #1, 3, 4 are almost certainly Don Fogg, and they're early work. The 2nd one is probably Jimmy Fikes, although it could also be Don. Both Don and Jimmy have a solid secondary market (Don is retired, and Jimmy is mostly coaching these days if I'm not mistaken). Early pieces are less in demand than their golden age stuff.
