Wow, thank you very much for the brochures!

Very cool knives, nice to look at

Oh, I accidentally found Kunde's 1910 catalog in the Internet Archive in the public domain.

There is mine E1 10 1/2 on page 15. And number 66 looks very similar to Puma 943

Thanks so much for finding and sharing that catalog !

I knew from research that Schrade had copied their knife and blade design for their S7309F fibestos handled farmers jack from Kunde. The one in this catalog is almost exactly like Schrade's version. That bark loosener blade is one of the coolest blades that any cutler ever ground.

Schrade's version with the Fibestos handles were junk handles . I'm lucky to have this one intact( albeit lacquered over to preserve). Notice this model came with a wharncliffe pruning blade , not the standard one Schrade used and also the only production farmers jack not a single spring!.
