Need help with dating, (age) of the kitchen knife. Much appreciated.

Welcome to AAPK.

Because of the size this knife wouldn't be a kitchen knife but rather a large steak knife used for butchering and slicing. I would guess that it dates before 1950 in the WWII time frame.

Thank you for your reply. It makes perfect sense. Did not realize it was that old. Thanks.

I would be curious to know when the manufacturers went from the simple small pins on butchers and kitchen cutlery to the larger brass rivets. Anyone know?

This may provide some general idea of When: In 1904 Charles D. Harrington was assigned patent 749,438 for a Cutler’s Rivet (Two Part Compression). Wire rivets with separate burrs on both ends had existed but were not commonly used in knife-making. Data courtesy of Bernard Levine.

Thank you; that is great information. Somehow I don't think they were widely implemented until much later.
