2 knives.
Smaller knife is marked: Flint U.S.A. Vanadium;
The second larger knife has no markings that I could find.
Both blades look like similar material so my question is:
Are they both made of Vanadium? Any guesses on larger unmarked knife?
Any info or ballpark age? Your input appreciated. Thx!!

Vanadium is only one element in the steel. Roughly Along the lines of a 440A, B, or C Stainless with Vanadium of course .. Good kitchen knives. My parents received those as a wedding gift in the 1950’s. My brother still uses them.
