Re: A little help!
I have several and in my never to be humble opinion, up until about 1971 they were exceptional knives. I don't know much about the ones after that. From about 1930 to 1971, they had a stamp "Oil the Joints" on the pile side of the tangs. Those knives were well made and had good steel.
