Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
I picked up another of these interesting Stainless Cutlery Co. advertising pen knives. As is the case a lot it looks unused and this company is from my home town if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
That's a nice one Greg. Actually every "Stainless Cutlery" knife i see is a a very attractive knife. Possibly the most attractive pen knives made during that time (1920's-'30's).

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
Here is a 3 3/8" Equal End pen knife. The handles are the brightest yellow i have seen on any knife. I assume they are celluloid and that other old yellow cell i have seen used to be as bright as this ? Was there any other handle material used in 1920' and 30's that was brightly colored ?
As with every Stainless Cutlery knife the fit & finish is top notch.

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
I still can't fathom how knives that are so much older than me can still look so much younger than me.
Maybe it's because they are unused, unlike me.

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
The pictures are not computer enhanced. The yellow is even brighter more intense than the pictures show. I have never seen a knife handle with yellow this bright. Where are the others ?

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
3 1/4" Regular Jack although quite slim spring to top edge of liners so does not feel as heavy duty as most Regular Jacks. It is actually very nice, has a 'refined' look and feel, like "The Gent's Jack". Both blades marked: "Stainless/Cutlery Co./N.Y. City".

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
They look transparent on the underlying green tarnish of brass liners.
You can see the transparency from the shadow thrown by the center pin and the shield.
Is celluloid ever transparent like clear acrylic? There seems to be no shrinkage at all.
Great snap with halfstops but the main blade sits a bit tight with point just above the liner.
Could this be a rehandle?
The tang stamp is repeated on the small blade with one shield stamp behind the main stamp.
Any date estimate?

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
If the above pen knife is 3 3/8" then it is the same pattern i posted on previous page with bright yellow handle.
The handles are original and have off gassed somewhat, but not enough to shrink ?
age is 1920's-'30's.

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
Edgewise I have several of there pen knives with celluloid covers but none with clear cell handles. The clear celluloid was usually over the top of an advertisement. I've seen that clear celluloid gas before.

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City
Thanks for clearing that up guys. 3 3/8 exactly. The sellers picture didn't show the gassing out but he said it is celluloid. There may even be a thin shiny clear coat varnish covering the scales and bolsters but I can't be sure.
So now I have an interesting (gassing out ) conversation piece for $27.95 with kj's yellow one as the gold standard, and wondering where kj's knife spent the last century to end up in such pristine condition.

Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City – Post Them If You Have Them
Camillus made a plethora of knives for other companies and under other names. One name they use was Stainless Cutlery Co., New York City.
They aren't extremely common but they're not as scarce as hen's teeth either. I know there are a few posted here on AAPK but not very many.
If you have a knife stamped STAINLESS CUTLERY CO./NEW YORK CITY, please post it here so we can have them all in one thread.
Every once in a while I find an old Camillus with celluloid handles that just blow me away!
I found this one last month at the Oregon show. Stop thank you It is branded Stainless Cutlery Company.
Goins says Stainless Cutlery Co. was trademark used by Camillus from roughly 1924 to 1940.
This knife is at least 79 years old and the vibrant color is just amazing to me!
Obviously it was an ad knife for KITCHEN KLENZER which is hot stamped into the handle on the pile side.
The bar shield is very shiny and stamped STAINLESS STEEL. Both blades are stamped.
The master is stamped STAINLESS/CUTLERY CO./NEW YORK/CITY.
The pile side has a shield on the tang with the words STAINLESS/SHIELD.
The secondary blade is stamped on one side only; STAINLESS/CUTLERY CO./N. Y. CITY.
Even the bail has fancy sculpting around the ends for the pins go through.
I thought this was a very beautiful and well made knife, the fact that it was a giveaway, an ad knife, makes it even more spectacular in my opinion.
Now, let's see your Stainless Cutlery Co. knives!

Re: Stainless Cutlery Co. New York City – Post Them If You Have Them
Dale somewhere in AAPK there is a thread we have been showing Stainless Cutlery Co knives & discussing them. FRJ and i and others have posted some pictures of truly special Stainless Cut. Co. knives. Cannot remember where the thread is.

Hey Dale, I've got a few of the Stainless Cutlery Co. knives and I am amazed at the quality of them. I think perhaps Camillus put a little extra effort in to these knives in order to promote the new stainless blades.
