Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
The carving sets were once present in nearly every household. In my home it was used every Sunday for a sit down meal about 2pm. My father would steel the knife before carving the 'joint' (British term for "roast". After dinner i would carefully wash, dry and put away the carving set for use on the following Sunday.
Now i bet very few families use a carving set and if they have one likely it has been inherited from a previous generation.
Seeing the Keen Kutter carving set on the previous page brought back memories of Sundays past.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Here is Keen Kutter barlow that looks and feels like a Camillus. It’s quite hefty and slightly larger than my other Keen Kutter barlows. The tang stamp is EC Simmons, but I have owned several more of this same barlow pattern that had the Shapleigh Keen Kutter stamp. I wonder if this was part of the last run of barlows sold by Simmons.
Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Let me try that again with pictures. Sorry guys, I’m a newbie.
Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Very nice barlow.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thank you David!
I think I own Keen Kutter barlows that were made by Walden, Winchester, Camillus, and Schrade. Here’s my favorite - stamped EC Simmons / St Louis.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
In looking thru my boxes today I found this nice Keen Kutter MOP pen. I dont think I have pictured it here before. It has the E. C. Simmons marking.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Picked up this stag 4 blade cattle knife over the weekend, don't have it in hand yet but I thought it was interesting and uncommon enough to post sellers pictures,
Looking in Sellens book it appears to be on page 220, listed as a K44833 and only listed as coming in genuine stag. Will post more pictures when it arrives.

Beautiful KKs, all..
Here's an E.C. Simmons ebony barehead jack.. I had a new main blade welded on just in front of the tang stamp. Good walk and talk, no side play. I love the scales on this one..
