Eagle Knife Company
Got this single blade folder from the Eagle Knife Company yesterday. It fits in well with my other simple, all metal knives.
The tang stamp reads:
EAGLE KNIFE CO
PAT.OCT.1.18
MADE IN USA
The tang stamp reads:
EAGLE KNIFE CO

MADE IN USA

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Nice one! Goins says 1916 - 1919. Levine's Guide (4th) adds they were sold to Winchester in 1919 and they were made in New Haven, CT.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Thank you for the info Dennis. I really do like these single blade, all metal pocket knives. Such a simple design and still around after 100 years. I can't find enough of this style or the Geo Schrade wire handle folders. But it is fun hunting them down. Here are a few of the type that I have hunted down.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Great collection that has given me a new respect for simple, metal handled knives. I have a few wire frame and metal handled but I've always thought they were kind of boring but seeing your variety is changing my mind.
Which company/companies made the Girl Scout and Boy Scout models?
Any idea if you have all the colors they made of the wire frame inserts? In your photos I see red (two shades), green, yellow, metallic, and maybe white (or is that one also metallic?). Wonder if they ever made a blue one?

Re: Eagle Knife Company
N W NY there is a simple elegance to those knives. Glad some one is respecting them.

These are the manufacturers that I've found, so far. Always looking for a different manufacturer.
As far as the inserts on the wire handled knives, I don't know if I have all the colors. Red, green & metal colors seem to be the norm. I don't know if the metal colored ones were made that way or if the paint just wore off. I can't see/find any trace of paint on either one. I got lucky finding the yellow one. Again, always looking for variations.
Thank you doglegg.

I just bought this single blade jack knife, tang stamped GEO. SCHRADE, PAT APD FOR. It is a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, NEWBURGH, N.Y. and a "cousin" of the EAGLE KNIFE CO. Hopefully it will arrive sometime next week. It looks great but I'll give it the once over and I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
This EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY, single blade pocket knife, found a new home today. I gave it a gentle once over, nothing major. It is a "cousin" of GEO. SCHRADE Knife Co. (non-wire handle), and a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY. It measures 2 7/8" closed. The EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY knife in the first post, on the top of this page, measures just a hair over 3 1/4" closed. These pictures are mine.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Today's trek to the post office produced this knife. A single blade jack pocket knife, tang stamped GEO SCHRADE, PAT APD FOR. It measures 3 1/8" closed. It is a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, NEWBURGH, N.Y. and also a "cousin" of the EAGLE KNIFE CO. It is in EXCELLENT condition and I didn't have to do anything to it. These are MY pictures.

Here’s a couple pics of the Eagle I just found. Any idea of the age of this one? I saw 1916 in an earlier thread.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
I am by no means an expert on knives. But your tang stamp says EAGLE CUTLERY CO, not EAGLE KNIFE CO. I don't know if that means anything. There are some other EAGLE KNIFE CO knives and tang stamps on this page.Treasure Trawler wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 1:23 am Here’s a couple pics of the Eagle I just found.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
I'm going to bring this topic up to date as there will soon be an addition or additions to my collection. These are the three EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY (1916-1919) pocket knives that I currently have. All three are single blade. All three have different tang stamps.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Today I've added these two pocket knives from EAGLE KNIFE CO. (1916-1919) to my collection. They are each a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, NEWBURGH, N.Y. and the GEO. SCHRADE KNIFE CO., INC. The first one is a single blade pocket knife. The second one is a single blade, 1 tool, "SCOUT KNIFE" pocket knife. Both pocket knives needed a little cleaning. I cleaned them, took some pictures and here they are.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Arriving very recently, I added this pocket knife from EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY (1916-1919), to this topic or thread and to my collection. It is a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, NEWBURGH, N.Y., the GEO. SCHRADE KNIFE CO., INC. and other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar, simple construction. It is a single blade, 2 7/8" closed, all metal pocket knife. This is my eighth pocket knife manufactured by EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY. The other seven have all been previously posted under this topic or thread and elsewhere. I gave it a minor cleaning, took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Eagle Knife Company
Sweet! I like the simplicity of the Eagle design.
I have a couple of the Imperial Boy Scout knives and forks that are made after a similar design. It is neat to get such a firm snap on a knife with no backspring.
