Got these knives in a trade with some other stuff. I don’t know who made them or what steel or wood was used. They seem to be good knives, but I haven’t put them to work yet.

Would these be considered English trade knives? If not, what? And maybe what time period would they represent?

They are pinned (2 pins) but the painted handles make pins hard to see.

Look like reasonably correct styles. All you need to do is get that paint off the scales so you can see the wood and pins.
