Case uses a pattern of markings on their tang stamps that can help you date them, depending on which "era" they were made in.

Here is a good reference on Case's web site: http://www.wrcase.com/case_college/tang_stamps/

I don't know much about Schrade knives, so I can't help you there.

For specific questions/answers about your knives you must post pictures (the sharper the better).
