Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thank you for the thoughts on the ebay knife I posted Roger, John and Ryan. I also did not like the look of the tang stamp. It is too new looking and black inside. None of my Keen Kutters are that dark in the letters of the stamp. However, the letter ends are all squared, not rounded, and the pattern stamp looks good?
Beautiful easy open, John! Sellens says that one was in the catalogs from 1905 through to 1920. I really like the old knives with etched pattern numbers.
Thanks for posting your knife, John, nice one! It is pretty much a match for the bottom one of my 1898 3/4s in blade shape and tang stamp, although the tang on it appears to be somewhat longer than normal? The tang stamp, with the ears at the top of the stamp and "MADE/IN/USA" in the bottom of the stamp, instead of the more normal
"ST LOUIS/MO", is somewhat rare. I have three Keen Kutters with that stamp and yours is the only other one I have seen.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thank you all for the kind comments. Dan, appreciate you dating the knife, it's a little older than I thought.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
This is about all the Keen Kutter knives I have. For some reason they are
hard for me to find in North Texas and when I do the owner has them
priced according to the price of gold on the days market. Most of these
came from around St. Louis, Missouri.
