I was researching the Orange Cutlery Company and came across this feed. The information was helpful. I grew up in Walden in the 70's and 80's and started collecting knives from there when I was around 15 years old. I remember finding blades, handles and sometimes full knives around the old Schrade, Walden and New York Knife Company sites. I visit Walden once in awhile and as I walk or drive past the old sites, I reminisce of scavenging around and finding treasures.

I am attaching two knives from the Orange Cutlery Company that I have in my collection. They are the same style knife with slightly different blades. I have not found many knives from this company.

Very cool.

I FINALLY FOUND AND OBTAINED ONE.....
This morning, my visit to the post office produced this lobster or gentlemans' pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my FIRST example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also becomes the FIRST example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is an ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY, one blade, one tool (a file with a blade tip), two tang stamps, 3" closed, lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The tool back tang stamp also says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The main handle side has a MASONIC symbol, logo or emblem. The main blade has a SOFT half stop, a GOOD opening snap and a GOOD closing snap. The tool also has a SOFT half stop, but it does have a GOOD opening snap and a GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

***** NOTE ***** NOTE ***** NOTE ***** NOTE *****
AAPK member lt632ret, wrote a short article regarding ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY and included pictures of
three tang stamps and four different ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knives. The article and the pictures
can be found in his book, "Knives of the Hudson Valley - 160 Years of American Cutlery History"
The whole book is a VERY INTERESTING and VERY INFORMATIVE read.

That's by far the most enjoyable.
