Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Two beautiful knives, Roger!
Nice peanut, Gone2Three!
It is a later one (after 1940) from during the Shapleigh era. I think likely made by Schrade?
Very nice find at a great price, Ray!
Lovely carving set, Ryan!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
The carving sets were once present in nearly every household. In my home it was used every Sunday for a sit down meal about 2pm. My father would steel the knife before carving the 'joint' (British term for "roast". After dinner i would carefully wash, dry and put away the carving set for use on the following Sunday.
Now i bet very few families use a carving set and if they have one likely it has been inherited from a previous generation.
Seeing the Keen Kutter carving set on the previous page brought back memories of Sundays past.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Here is Keen Kutter barlow that looks and feels like a Camillus. It’s quite hefty and slightly larger than my other Keen Kutter barlows. The tang stamp is EC Simmons, but I have owned several more of this same barlow pattern that had the Shapleigh Keen Kutter stamp. I wonder if this was part of the last run of barlows sold by Simmons.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thank you David!
I think I own Keen Kutter barlows that were made by Walden, Winchester, Camillus, and Schrade. Here’s my favorite - stamped EC Simmons / St Louis.

In looking thru my boxes today I found this nice Keen Kutter MOP pen. I dont think I have pictured it here before. It has the E. C. Simmons marking.
