I use these two darn near every day.. old Keen Kutter and an old Queen

Those Keen Kutter boxed silverware sets are sweet! I've been hoping to find a decent one at a reasonable price at auction.

Are there any maker marks on the pieces?

Thanks redrider!! Yes there is..The pictures aren’t the best but here’s a couple…

Just got this yesterday… Little Queen fixed blade… The very tip is broken ..I’m going to fix it up and I might use it as a paring knife or I might just keep it in my collection (probably collection) it looks like I was barely ever used I don’t know how the tip got broken

These came in the mail today… Three Queens and a Simmons Keen Kutter steel..I love how they made the emblem the handle guard

These arrived today— 4 Queen Steel slicing/carvers.. NOS..I love the this style Queen fixed blade handle..

Great looking Queens and Keen Cutters, Stanwade!

Our Nakiri in teak burl and ZFiNite. More info here: https://allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_ ... =2&t=64775

Thanks Kris! IRead your other post.. sweet knife!

Here’s another one for my kitchen knife collection…E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter ..I love it..Going to clean it up just a touch and re-epoxy the handle then it’ll be good to go

After a year of use, ABS Master Smith Jon Christensen, hand forged W2 tool steel(from Don Hanson III), clayless hamon with toxic green liners and 4500 year old bog oak from the Ukraine. Keep it sharp on a 9k stone.

I've done a few of these blade blanks from Jantz. Their VG-10 blanks are pretty nice quality, this santoku blank runs over $100. I finished it with black micarta and ironwood.

I just picked up this smaller blank to work on for the wife.

Sweet pick you guys! Another EC Simmons Keen Kutter to add to my collection..

Good work Glenn! Looks awesome!

My latest Remington find:a carving set and an extra knife thrown in. Handles are faux stag(some kind of black ugly material)but there is just a hint of someone sharpening the blade(thankfully not with a power tool)and for three bucks I ain't complaining!

Knife7knut--awesome set!! I Just received this in the mail yesterday. Shapleigh's Keen Kutrer carving set.. very reasonable price too!! I love it...

Gotta love vintage kitchen stuff.

Really cool kitchen knives/items

Tony Bose paring Zulu, handled by Rick Menefee. Used every day for 5 years, dosen't get more "honest" or "hard working" than that.

After a year of everyday use, our nakiri looks as good as the day we received it. The ZFinite is an exceptional steel. Edge kept up on a 9k japanese stone.

Sweet Kris!

Nice set!

How well do those frozen food knives actually work? I've been meaning to pick one up.

Tried using it on a chunk of frozen meat about 3 inches by 5 inches and finally got through it after about 10 minutes.Should have used a saw.

Scored on the local Facebook swap. 5 piece Old Hickory set in the box for $15. Ruined my credibility telling my wife she needs to quit buying stuff in there though

Couple of very useful knives.
1).Washington Cutlery Co, "VILLAGE BLACKSMITH" #711,(14" overall 1898-1940). Bought it for 25 cents at a church sale. Very high quality razor sharp.
2).GEORGE COWAN, Sheffield, (1800's)?. Original stag handle re-purposed for a custom hunting knife. Blade reground to thinner profile for filleting whatever we catch in the Atlantic. It'll flex 45 degrees for filleting. Homemade handle. ("Squid Lips" is our boat's name.) J.O'.
