These knives are Robeson Sur Edge. Between the Sur and Edge is a triangle with a horizontal line through it. I can't find anything like them with that logo or decorative blades anywhere on sites that feature Robeson knives. They have wood handles and the blades appear to have had the docorative mottling farther down the blade but have been sharpened off. Anyone know anything about these? As near as I can figure they are from approx 1919 or a few years after.
Nice Old knives
The logo is Shur Edge
I did not see any other "hammered" finish examples while looking around

We can't either. Could it be a special order? A hammered finish someone could do themselves is it? Any idea where else to look? Do you think this makes them more valuable?
Here you go:

Thank you. So I would guess the two would be worth about$125. Thank you so much for your help!
