I found this in a drawer. Has a place where a symbol would have been and the marking on the blades are Boker/Poker/Roker i cant tell which. Two sets of numbers 00494 and 1774 and in between the 7 and 4 is a tree. Any kind of help is appreciated. And any ways to bring this knife back? Warning!! Crappy photos ahead! :eek:

Boker stockman. Their logo is a tree, and some of their knives are marketed as Tree Brand. It looks too rough in those pictures to have much collector value, so I'd say rub the blades down with an oily rag to get the red rust off, sharpen it and drop it in your pocket. The old Bokers I've handled have had pretty good steel.
 
Looks like Boker USA, totally different knives from Boker Germany. Handles are Delrin, a tough plastic made by Dupont and widely used for knife handles since the early 1960's. You can see the space where the large oval shield once was.
