I think Walden, based on the lack of a pattern number. Could also possibly be Winchester, though.

Here's a nice one, model #73625G with a stable celluloid handle I picked up back in July. The blades are tight and snappy with sharp even edges. Opinions on who might have made it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice find, Lama. ::tu:: Given the dates that Sellens guide to Keen Kutter pocket knives gives for this model (1924 to 1938), I would speculate Winchester as the manufacturer.

Here's one from an estate auction in as found condition. This little pup pushes all my buttons, the bone, the jigging pattern, the shield, the blade combination, not to mention the main. The stamp is worn there, but clear on the coping and pen.

There is beauty all over that knife. Love the swell center, the spear main, the golden blonde color. I could go on. Love seeing old beauties like that one. Congrats on a fine one.

I agree , that's a real button pusher. I love an old full or semi full spear blade. They're like pruning blades. It's hard to determine how full they are without seeing them along side an unused one.

That one of lama’s inspired me to post these 2 of mine. No large spear blade but fairly Keen!

Speaking of Keen Jimbo, the logo stamped on the cap bolster is pretty nifty. Can you post a photo of its blades? The congress is a beaut also. I enjoy thinking of the history a knife that well used may have behind it. They both have nice bones.

I don't think that I've ever seen a KK fixed blade.
