Thank you Tony.
Driving while photographing knives... Was that done on a closed track, school zone, freeway or (I am out of guesses).
Good photos, well-lit, in focus, captured the tang stamp, you were more than able to reveal the gold etching's beauty AND the detail in the layered bolster = bravo.
Two attractive knives. Is there a story associated with their acquisition?

You are still doing what Tony suggested, ahead of the forum police (AKA much loved but over worked and under paid moderators), suggested you not do.
Suggested reading in the kindest way my friend and thank you: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...MBERS-Please-read-this-WHAT-IS-MY-KNIFE-WORTH
Haha oregon, I was actually sitting in a parking lot.
Thanks for the compliments on the photos.
Unfortunately there isnt a good story behind these two. I've collected guns for a while now, but few weeks ago decided I wanted to get into knives as well. Was traveling home from work, seen a small pawn shop tucked in a strip mall. Pulled in, these we're the first two I bought. I also picked up a 1991 Case and a Gerber touche Belt Buckle knife.
But these two caught my eye first, so they are the start of my collection. I've always liked buck knives but honestly always carried around the china made versions.

Some of the fellas here have had terrific luck with pawn shops. I had some but mostly dry holes. You have hit pay dirt. I am beaming from the General Forum buckle I see you posted there. WOW! Beautiful. You have better pawn shops in your neck of the woods than I have here in Oregon. Do you mind me asking where abouts, state, region, country, you located said shop? I am now hungry for the hunt. What you did!

Please do so that you quite the blood lust of the moderators and their minions who go after violators. This puts you into good graces and lets us all want to embrace you into the brotherhood of the blade so that we can help, admire, kid, joke, etc.

Spurned wives doing a partial pre-divorce settlement on their own perhaps! I've seen this before, unfortunately. Married man asks, "how can I chop the wife out of my wealth?" Married woman doesn't ask for any how to, she already knows because her Mother showed her years ago how to C.H.A.

Yes.
It also give you personal email. Talk on back channel directly with members.
It also gives you ability to sell on Bladeforums selling forum. You make up you own mind here. I cannot vouch for or against.
It gives you knowledge that you are funding something that you believe in. Enabling it to go forward. For example: Something Sparks, the owner of Bladeforums.com, allows me to do is fight against FAKE BUCK KNIFE SELLERS http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ckoff-Buck-Knives-amp-Americans-Who-Sell-Them

Hi witurner,
Welcome to the Buck forum! Yes it is not ok to talk values until you upgrade to gold or higher membership. But, You can also search old posts for information on your BCCI knives.
In your photo's I see that the larger one is starting to be damaged by rust, you can see the orange color bleeding out onto the stag and what appears to be some pitting on the etched side pivot bolster. This type of damage affects the overall value. Nice score!
