Thanks MB!!

My small collection of Keen Kutters. I would like more but competition for the few good ones that come up on ebay has gotten pretty stiff.

Thanks very much MB. I didn't think it might be that old. s-k

Here is a WW I era Keen Kutter...........

A barlow I got recently
I'd be glad to have time frame estimation

here is a couple old keen kutters i thought that i would post to get this thread going again

On the barlow, you need to look at the tang stamp. If it says "E.C. Simmons", it's pre WWII, if it doesn't (and my guess is that it doesn't) it would most likely be after the war. The general construction of the knife appears to me to be Camillus manufacture (obviously barlows are all pretty similar however), made for Shapleigh c 1940' - 50's.

you are right, this has no EC Simmons below the tang stamp. Main blade has pattern number on the other side of the tang - 829.

Thanks
Mike

Heres a big E.C.Simmons K.K 4-1/4" cigar jack

The other is a e.c. Simmons kk warncliff whitter that has a surgical blade as one of the second blades.
Looks like a littler warncliff blade. But my book calls it a surgical blade.

Outside of a chunk missing from the mark side and a potion of the nail nick missing on the pen plade this EC Simmons Keen Kutter 033 41 is gorgeous...

Dang Rig those are beauties!!!!

Scott, shame about the nail nick, that's often a product of someone using the back of the blade like a screwdriver, NOT a good idea.

Hey owd wullie ,Is'nt pickup truck a double entandre?

Here is a old keen kutter postcard. I don't know exactly what year ,but it only needed a 1 cent stamp.

That postcard is pretty politically incorrect. A postcard like that might get you a visit from the ASPCA.

This one is a Schrad Old Timer "8OT"... Ken

Here is a pretty rare WWI era Keen Kutter military folding knife. I have seen several like the one I posted on page 5 but this is the first one this size and without the marlin spike blade.

Gotta love the bone handles on this one!

MB,check this one,at ten Euro(13USD),this one might go cheap.Gus.http://www.ebay.fr/itm/RARE-COUTEAU-PLI ... 1e7846ad40.

Only 3.25 inches but seriously cute.

Love the bolsters on that one

Tongue, that is a great knife all around!
