Looking for info on two knife makers

[P.08]

I bought a few knives at a gun show years ago. Two are from Jeff Cover and one from AT Bloomer. I have searched the net many times trying in vain to find out who these two are and if they are considered good makers.

Thanks that is the most information I have seen on them ever.
I think I paid about $150 each, so would guess I did ok?

The first one has a few nice elements. Tapered tang, dovetail scale-bolster junction, damascus etc. You should certainly enjoy owning it.

Those are fine handmade knives.
You did good.

Cover I've heard of ~10y ago. Quality maker, second tier IIRC.

I am not very up on terms. When you say second tier is that good or bad? I am going to guess not big name charge thousands for a knife, but still good quality?

Thanks for everyone who posted as well.

By second tier I mean he's not very visible aka "well known". Some of the best value is in lesser known makers. Your knife has obviously good fit/finish. Use it and see if it works good too. The top one appears familiar as if I've seen it or the pattern before. The Bloomer looks like someone loved it

Ok I understand that. The Bloomer is my favorite little bird knife which I have used on a few turkey and pheasant that I had shot in the past. The blade is 2.75" 6.5" overall. I love the filing on the back of the blade and bolster.
