Hi there I am new to this and my first post, but I have seen this Kingston Page and would like to show my Kingston. I already seen one just like it, is there any information in what year it could be? I read Kingston ended in 58.

Welcome to the forum, for your 1st post that is a beauty

Thank you gentlemen!

Clark,welcome to the forum. Heck of a first post,nice Kingston . Nailing down the year for this brand is difficult. Have to read the knife some and look at material,construction, markings and then it’s difficult. Are you into any other brands? Hope to see you around the forum,it’s one of the best knife forums around.

I am not into any brand exactly, I honestly am getting started. But I have a good first start in some nice VTG knives, I purchased a lot couple years back and just getting started on this forum so I am limited to what I could do and need to eventually support but can’t as of right now due to lack of funds.

Hey there it’s been awhile and would like to know for sure, what handle material is on the Kingston USA jack? Was it all Plastic Composition handles used? Here is a refresh of the knife in question, also could I get some pricing information?

Awesome thread on one of my favorite stamps to collect. My current hometown is Kingston, NY, where the company got it's namesake I believe. Kingston, NY is located about 30 miles north of Ellenville and Napanoch and maybe 50 miles from Walden. Here's some photos of most of my Kingston knives.

I had yet to hear of Kingston when I saw this 3 5/16" serpentine stockman. Decently built knife in good shape, kept sharpened but with some small flaws in the edges.

Recently, this pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general pocket knife collection. It came in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. I am happy to have it. However, I did NOT buy the group or lot for this particular pocket knife. It turned out to be a keeper. It is an UNBRANDED, three blades, NO tang stamp(s), 3 3/8" closed, 5 7/8" main blade open, "cattleman"(?), "stockman" (?), pattern or style of pocket knife. ALL of the bolsters have pins. I could NOT find the remains of ANY type of stamp, etch, etc. But, after carefully comparing this pocket knife with other similar, three blade knives, I am 99.999% positive that this "UNBRANDED" pocket knife IS a KINGSTON, an IMPERIAL, or a ?????? pocket knife. I also posted this under two IMPERIAL topics or threads. Overall, it is in EXCELLENT condition. All I did was wipe it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

I’m no expert, but I’d be shocked if that was an Imperial. It’s a beauty, tho!

Very recently, this pocket knife arrived and it now becomes my latest example to join this topic or thread. It is also the latest example to join my general pocket knife collection. It came in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. I did NOT buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a KINGSTON, three blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/4" closed, stockman, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "KINGSTON (over) U.S.A." The main blade has no half stop. It has a soft opening and closing snap. The secondary blade has no half stop. It has a soft opening and closing snap. The third blade has no half stop, but has a good opening and closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off.

That is an attractive knife, Skip, nice pickup!

[New_Windsor_NY]

That.....

Thank you, Ike.
I was quite surprised and pleased to find this one and the
one I previously posted, in the same group or lot of knives.

[GringoBombero]

Had this one for a little bit. Kingston USA.
I've seen quite a few of the K340s being posted, but not many K341s so here is mine.
A little scale shrinkage and some pitting here and there, but still feels like a nice solid knife.
