Need Help Identifying a Couple of Knives

I recently bought a couple of knives from a local auction and I am having some trouble identifying the maker of these two. I thought that someone could lend me some help and help identify the tang stamp on these two knives. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks again. Hopefully the pictures I attached worked. Thanks

Steve,

Thank for the info. I found that information too, but I can't find any examples of his knives that he has made to do some comparisons. You know this is one thing I truly enjoy about knife collecting. It is trying to put all of the pieces together to know the history of a knife. Thanks again.

Well if its this Jim Watson he is quite famous and has written a book:

Watson

In a process handed down from his grandfather, Jim Watson explains and illustrates sharpening techniques for numerous woodcarving tools and knives of various sizes and shapes including pocket knives and kitchen knives. The necessary materials for proper sharpening are listed and discussed with methods for reconditioning and making you own new knives and tools as well as information on resurfacing the sharpening stones. By following Jim's instructions and adding a little practice and patience, everyone will be able to achieve and maintain a superior edge, as keen as the piece of steel will allow.
