Both of the victims were taken to Crosshouse Hospital where they were treated for serious injuries.
The first suspect is described as having short blonde hair and a slim build.
The second suspect is described as being around 30-years-old, 5ft 8in, of medium/stocky build with short, tidy dark hair and was clean shaven. The men were unable to give a description of a third suspect.
All of the suspects were wearing dark clothing.
Detective Sergeant Barry Walker, Kilmarnock Police Office, said: “This was a violent and brutal attack on two men who were left with potentially scarring injuries. We believe this to be a targeted attack which took place in a flat in a residential area nearby an open park area. Where were you on Sunday night? Did you hear or see anybody either before the attack took place, or fleeing from the scene afterwards?
“It is vital that we find the persons responsible and would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen a group of men acting suspiciously to come forward and contact us.”
