My small collection of Keen Kutters. I would like more but competition for the few good ones that come up on ebay has gotten pretty stiff.

here is a couple old keen kutters i thought that i would post to get this thread going again

On the barlow, you need to look at the tang stamp. If it says "E.C. Simmons", it's pre WWII, if it doesn't (and my guess is that it doesn't) it would most likely be after the war. The general construction of the knife appears to me to be Camillus manufacture (obviously barlows are all pretty similar however), made for Shapleigh c 1940' - 50's.

you are right, this has no EC Simmons below the tang stamp. Main blade has pattern number on the other side of the tang - 829.

Thanks

Heres a big E.C.Simmons K.K 4-1/4" cigar jack

The other is a e.c. Simmons kk warncliff whitter that has a surgical blade as one of the second blades.
Looks like a littler warncliff blade. But my book calls it a surgical blade.

Outside of a chunk missing from the mark side and a potion of the nail nick missing on the pen plade this EC Simmons Keen Kutter 033 41 is gorgeous...
