A three back spring Cattle knife measures a hair under 3 3/4" closed. Pattern number K737 3/4 etched on the back of the master blade.

Barry, this is a beautiful knife.

I picked up a KK trio recently from joefm. A Cattle knife (possibly a K3878 1/4), a K8 cracked ice Pen and a KS319 Vaquero (Alvin Sellen's pattern name, not sure where it derives from?). I love the fact that each has the Keen Kutter logo shield. Blade etch on the black Vaquero. Currently had a couple Cattle knives, a pearl Pen and a goldstone (a Case term) Vaquero. Adding to the family.

Found this print rolled up in a cardboard tube along with some real old knives.

That is classic, love the motto.

Nice KK knives John! Congrats on the new additions!

Thanks, Tom.

Nice John! Your Keen Kutter collection is growing!

Nice John! Your Keen Kutter collection is growing!

Thanks, Ryan! Up to 33 folders, a fixed blade and a hoof pick/haft. Barely a dent in all the patterns bearing a Keen Kutter logo or a Shapleigh Hardware tang stamp.

I often think about the Horseman's knives I let slip through my fingers at auction.

That’s what I need next, John, for my Keen Kutter collection is a fixed blade hunter..I have yet to pull the trigger on one yet…

[1967redrider]

Happy hunting, Ryan! The hunt is part of the fun of collecting.

[Stanwade]

John —right? I hope the flea markets can get back in business soon and I hope people aren’t too scared to have yard sales and garage sales this summer…

[Stanwade]

Just purchased these two tonight (both kks) For my kitchen knife collection…… Going to clean them up a touch when I get them and I’ll repost them After I have them in hand…

That old knife on the left looks like a good chopper, Ryan.

Picked this one up a couple weeks ago. Measures 3 3/4 closed. Etch was there but covered up with some rust. Light etch is all thats left.

Nice one!

[1967redrider]

Excellent dogleg, nice full blades.

I'd say that's a K2728.

[stockman]

That is really nice KK. Good find!!

Great dogleg, luckydog64, nice find! I believe that is a Walden made knife.

Sorry John, I missed a few posts. Nice trio of Shapleigh era Keen Kutters! I believe what you are calling a Vaquero is actually a Wharncliffe. There is an error on page 15 of Sellens. He had the Wharncliffe labeled as a Vaquero and the serpentine stockman beside it labelled as a Wharncliffe. On page 212 of Sellens there are a patterns (4425, 4428, 4429) which Simmons called Vaquero, which is one of the Spanish words for cowboy.

Cool poster, Jacknifeben!

A couple of good kitchen knives, Ryan!

Thanks, danno, I see that now. Wish I could find an etched Vaquero like he has pictured, really nice looking pattern. I penciled in a correction on Page 15 too.
