Old Keen Kutter Knives

[FRJ]

Here you go D. Thanks for taking a look at it in this thread.

I was wondering if my KK hunter was made before 1946 or after.
I'm gussing after, by Schrade Walden.

After 1946 is a safe bet Joe


Although the bone is heavily pocket worn I would say that is a N.Y. Knife Co. product.

Another clue is the grooved bolsters, not many companies grooved the bolsters on these type knives, N.Y. Knife Co. did

That's really nice to know, Demitri. Thank you for that information. It's a very sound knife, and also one of my favorites.
Thanks again.

Is that the Zenith Joe? Man, that's a really nice knife. I like it a lot. And you only paid $1 for it? So much better.

Here are my other 2 KK's. They are both Salesman Samples. When the pearl came in the mail an AAPK member was visiting and when I opened the box that was when I found out it was a Salesman's knife!!!

Not sure if Fran remembers or will see this post because I don't see him post much anymore.

I posted these a few years ago on a different thread but since Dimitri asked for mine I thought I would post them here also.

WOW!! My kinda K-nifes.

[Miller Bro's]

I like the Keen Kutter stamped bolsters

Wow! Those are some very fine looking Keen Kutters being shown on this thread I've managed to come across a couple for myself over the time I've been collecting, but not quite so nice as those I've seen here. The knife in the top picture I have always refered to as a cattleman's knife. But after looking at the cattleman's shown here, I' m not sure. The handles of the knife shown in the top picture, match up with the Blade Books description of cattleman, but the blades themselves, I don't know. The second picture is a pearl handled little pen. I feel honored to own it as a Keen Kutter, but it is to small in my hand. Again , congrat's to all those who have shown what one's they own. They are fine looking knives. Bull

If it has the spey blade and a punch blade it is really a "CATTLE MAN'S KNIFE".

[Miller Bro's]

Nice ones Bull

This is an original Tang Stamp from Keen Kutter.

Wow!!! Great knives, guys!!! I think Keen Kutter and New York Knife Co. knives have become my absolute favs over the years. I have a couple real old ones I`ll try to get photo`s of that could use a little rebuilding if I can find a couple blades that match. Keep em coming....love this thread!

Two of these have been viewed earlier.

[galvanic1882]

Yes stockman those are really nice

[268bull]

Thanks Dimitri ! I like that stamp your showing.That's very cool. I picked up another KK product yesterday, a 1 1/4 inch socket chisel. Very nice condition, no chips on the edge. The handle is in great shape too, leathers still on the end. Bull

I collect Keen Kutters pretty avidly (got about 80 of them) here's a small selection:

O.K. you asked for it.

I showed the back of the last knife to illustrate one of KK's inked on pattern numbers. You can get the pattern numbers by referring to the jpeg filenames.

[paulsvintage]

Wow ! this is turning out to be a great thread . great knives all

[FRJ]

Thanks Tom and Paul.
Tom, that $1.00 price is from someone elses Marshall. Mine was a tad more than that.

What great knives here. Really nice stuff.
That's a heck of a stamp, Dimitri. It's nice to see it.

Well, I've got these three. I may have one or two more but if I do they didn't surface in my search. Thanks.

Three distinctly different jigged covers on these.

Oh my goodness, mssteel, I just loveeeeeeee that smooth bone peanut......to coin a phrase(I`d arm wrestle you for that knife)

[Miller Bro's]

Nice ones Joe

[FRJ]

Thank you, Dimitri and Gino.
