Welcome to AAPK. We’re going to need better pictures to be able to tell you much about those knives. The manufacturer’s name is typically stamped on a knife’s tang,which is the area at the base of the blade near where it is attached, or hinged in the case of a folding pocket knife, to the handle. The only one I can barely see in your pictures is the name “Imperial” on the knife with the Boy Scout shield.
Try to get brighter, clear in-focus pictures of the stampings on each knife. Taking pictures outdoors in daylight usually works best.

Like Ken posted, we would need to see good pictures of the stamps on the blades in order to provide more info. And

Big D , welcome, enjoy your journey in the knife collecting realm. Haven’t been here long myself ,the time here has been very rewarding, fun ,making new cyber friends. Even been doing a bunch of trading and buying right here on the forum. It’s been nice to have a place to hang out during this Covid thing, and viewing and drooling over the knife pics is like a knife show itself . Enjoy and be safe.
