However the smaller knife i am unsure, i have matched it with wade butcher boone knife but it is missing the engravings. It almost feels blunt and looks as though it was never had a sharp edge but i could be wrong.

The William Rodgers is fine. Post WWII. It was still possible to buy that model from them even now, and they pushed it hard 60's - 90's.

The WB looks like a "Boone", the carbon version of the Teddy. It's been cleaned, etc....., and may have been shortened a bit judging from the butt. They were advertised early 20's - early 30's.
