Just bought these today, but I have no dates or information. the tang stamp on one is Power Kraft USA, 84 - 19 and the main blade is stamped with crossed shields - Razor Edged and stag handles (I think).
The second has only Power Kraft USA on the tang and Power Kraft Unexcelled stamped on the main blade - no numbers.
Appreciate any applicable info and dates. Thanks

POWR-KRAFT was a trademark of Montgomery-Ward, used on knives from 1939 until the company closed. The knives were made for them on contract by knife makers like Camillus, and possibly others. Someone here probably can tell who made yours - look like Camillus to me but that's just a guess. Handles on the first one look like Delrin.

Here's one I found on eBay. I bet he'd take $20 if you offered it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-POWR-K ... 1438.l2649
