Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
I picked up a few Keen Kutter and Simmons Hardware knives at the OKCA show this April. First three pics are a Simmons Cutlery Co. Germany pearl whittler. Next two pics are a Simmons Cutlery Co. (no country info) pearl jack.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Dan,
Beautiful KK folders! It was a pleasure to meet you at the recent OKAC show and visit with you a bit. Those folders at least the large Barlow and the Scout that I saw are even more spectacular in person. Hope our paths cross again sometime, Lloyd

Wow, nice ones! 
I especially like the scout and that Simmons marked knife with the old fashioned "Keen Kutter" etch, but they are all beautiful to me.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
At the risk of bringing the thread downer Danno's beauties, I'm posting one of my recent acquisitions, a Keen Kutter K73848C. This is a Camillus made knife on Camillus' 72 frame with their distinctive Spiral punch:

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Here are a few EE swell center jacks. This pattern seems to have died out before WWII, however, the balloon shape continued on with the Camillus 72 and the Case 6383 being good examples that survived until after the war:

Great knives, msteele! Love the blade on the knife on the far right.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Some more very nice knives, msteele. I really like the sabre ground blades, as Dave said, especially the one on the far right. Great bone and shield on the far left one.
