Thank you StanW, and would love to see another if you have one. Love these oldies. I absolutely love the bones, the thin blades, and the barehead. Not to mention the hammered pins and rat tail iron bolsters. Really a sweetie and for it's age (according to Danno it's from 1900 teens or 20s), it has better walk and talk and looks than almost any of my modern knives. Blows me away how great the build and quality was back then on run of the mill knives. Guess they built them to last back then, not to be replaced in a few years with a new model. Great era of American manufacturing.

Here's mine, I guess it's not exactly the same..it has excellent walk and talk.. a little side play, but easily remedied by a knife mechanic.. I'll re-peen junkers or cheap knives but I'm not confident enough to try it on an HOK..

Thanks double Danno.
Stan that's a fine one too. Love the shield in the shape of the KK logo. That was a great era for certain. Love seeing old stuff like this. Thanks again.

I've been meaning to ask this question for some time.
This is an old Keen Kutter that is pretty much used up, but do you think those
celluloid scales are the originals to the knife? I don't know a lot about Kutter's
because I don't see a lot of them down here in my neck of the woods.

I would say yes.
I have seen quite a few cell handled KKs.

Just pulled this one out of the mailbox yesterday.. Needs a little work, both blades sit a little proud when closed, and a good cleaning..
