I picked up a Kutmaster Utica N.Y. bone muskrat nice old knife looks alot like a Remington. On the main blade it is etched Blake & Lamb. I did my usual research and found out that Blake and Lamb made game traps and other small items. I think this knife was made around 1937 if you have more on this please post.

Re: muskrat
The Kutmaster trademark, at least according to books, was registered in 1937. I dont believe that it was used much until after WWII.stockman wrote:I picked up a Kutmaster Utica N.Y. bone muskrat nice old knife looks alot like a Remington.

All of Utica's pocket knives were made with the KUTMASTER trade mark from after WWII until the present time.
If your knife has a genuine bone handle, it is most likely 1950's to early 1960's era. At some point in the 60's, they switched to imitation bone. The muskrat is a relatively common pattern with the KUTMASTER stamp.

Re: muskrat
Those are nice! I need to dig mine out for a photo shoot. The muskrat pattern has always been one I liked, even though I don’t hardly ever carry one.

Wow, I sure do appreciate you sharing those. Truly an impressive trio! Everytime I see that old Schrade bone I love it more.
